due to some failure or version skew in networkx.graphviz_layout. Perhaps migrate to pygraphviz, which seems smaller (and therefore perhaps a lighter dependency)?

"Observing histograms is annoying"

Anthony said this when trying to reproduce the bird sexing by wingspan model that Chad Scherrer described in an introductory summer school lecture. I assume this means "From a histogram...

Look into Stan's math library

2

Bob Carpenter was very proud of it, and it is released as a standalone package. Possible uses: - expand (or replace (parts of?)) Puma's SP library - get rid of...

Blocked on #117, I think, because I want to accept a kernel SP and arguments for it.

Neither Lite nor Puma have the Cauchy distribution

which Anthony wanted in order to replicate Chad Scherrer's bird sexing example model.

Here's a way to get a cycle in the dependency graph

``` assume switchx (flip) assume switchy (flip) force switchx true assume x (if switchx 0 (exactly y)) assume y (if switchy 0 (exactly x)) observe switchx false observe switchy false...

Assure inference quality of the Venture examples we distribute

2

As opposed to checking that they do not crash, which is Issue #53. For example, `examples/crp-2d-demo.py` has an inference quality (or visualization) bug: the cluster means don't move but should,...

- Unit tests wouldn't hurt - Check discrimination strength for some known test distributions - Would be great to check that they catch errors that correspond to easy code typos:...

Use Chi^2/KS for mechanical 0-D/1-D simulator-assessor agreement testing for all Lite SPs of appropriate type

- One-sample tests in both cases - The K-S test would need to do (or accept the results of) quadrature on the alleged density function (which it might also normalize)...
