This issue follows up on this Discourse [discussion](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/making-turing-fast-with-large-numbers-of-parameters/69072/64?u=eloceanografo). As @mohamed82008 [explained](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/making-turing-fast-with-large-numbers-of-parameters/69072/68?u=eloceanografo), there multiple performance advantages to using a `LazyArray` inside an `arraydist`. To realize them, however, one must a) know...

I'm working on a model that includes a couple of random matrices. The model runs as expected with MCMC: ```julia using Turing @model function mwemodel(μX, Y) X ~ arraydist(Normal.(μX, 0.5))...

Currently, sampling from a model always prints warnings for numerical errors and info statements on the initial step size, even with the option `verbose=false`. This can really fill up the...

This confused me for a while. The following MWE, based on a more elaborate model I've been working on, runs fine sampling with NUTS: ```julia using Turing, Optim @model function...

This is an idea/feature request that I've been thinking about. Relates to [this conversation](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/is-there-any-glmmtmb-package-for-julia/19868) on Discourse, and https://github.com/TuringLang/Turing.jl/issues/1340 . See also [this paper](https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0197954). How hard would it be to implement...

First off, the new MAP functionality is great--something I've been waiting for a while, thanks! I was playing around with the example in the docs and noticed that the MAP...

Would it be desirable to have methods for `dot` and matrix multiplication to form linear combinations of vectors of GPs? This could make it much easier to programmatically construct composite...

Apologies if this is already possible and I just couldn't find it. It would be excellent to have methods for generating meshes from randomly ordered point clouds. Likewise, methods for...

feature

Implementing https://github.com/JuliaDSP/Wavelets.jl/pull/42, I noticed filter definitions are different in this package than in at least one other wavelet package I've used (`wmtsa` in R). The code below plots the equivalently-named...

Continuing on from this Discourse [discussion](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/laplace-approximation-for-mixed-models-in-julia-tmb-like-functionality/61796/14), I've implemented a method for decompressing a Hessian matrix from its coloring: ```julia using SparsityDetection using SparseDiffTools using ForwardDiff using LinearAlgebra using SparseArrays function...
