Chapter 2: deterministic variable name fixed
This confused me today too. I'd suggest removing this line entirely as it seems to have been copied from the PyMC2 version of Ch2, where a function is actually being declared:
@pm.deterministic
def some_deterministic_var(v1=v1,):
#jelly goes here.
For all purposes, we can treat the object some_deterministic_var as a variable and not a Python function.
However same the sentence doesn't make sense for PyMC3.
