We _could_ be. I've actually just closed the old PR where we had this. It's one of those ones where we probably want to test it out on an example...
Interesting. I suppose we could include the shift of the mean as an optional argument to the log-likelihood then? I would probably still have it as a default so that...
I don't have an example, but the general arguments for modelling the median probably apply. Namely that it can be more representative of the bulk of data and less susceptible...
A practical reason to model the median would be if you were fearful of model misspecification and so the influence of outliers, I suppose. I can actually see this being...
Yep, all worth exploring!
I'm wondering what's best to do about the `MultiplicativeGaussianLogLikelihood` model. Since the model with unfixed eta seems to be so unwieldy as to be not useful in practice, I'm in...
@Rebecca-Rumney this looks really good! It looks like it just needs a bit of tweaking with the tests and ready to go to review, right?
@martinjrobins thanks. So I'm guessing getting the gradients should also be possible? (I can see how to get the log_prob now.)
The Stan interface is currently sitting in a PR -- #1077. I reckon start with a folder called "interfaces" within the examples folder and put an example notebook there illustrating...
I’d vote for having them in the same repo. Keeps things simple and stops users having to look in lots of places to find out how things with. Actually, is...
