The advantage would be that it would be possible to search for any functionality in one place instead of going through separate documentation systems. Such documentation could be linked from...

Thank you for your feedback :slightly_smiling_face: Ronny has a very good answer. One more point I can add is that `shortest_geodesic(M::AbstractManifold, p, q) = geodesic(M, p, log(M, p, q))` is...

> Actually we have a solver for the second case at least [https://juliamanifolds.github.io/Manifolds.jl/latest/manifolds/connection.html#Manifolds.solve_exp_ode-Tuple{Any,%20Any,%20Any}](https://juliamanifolds.github.io/Manifolds.jl/latest/manifolds/connection.html#Manifolds.solve_exp_ode-Tuple%7BAny,%20Any,%20Any%7D) if you provide the metric or the connection (locally). I wouldn't recommend that particular solver, I don't...

Thanks! I was just trying to replicate `Deterministic` from PyMC3. It's actually just a small part of my full model where `T` is actually used but I didn't know about...

I'm not even sure how to use `init_params`, I tried that: ```julia @model function test(x) a ~ Normal(1.0, 2.0) println(a) x ~ filldist(Normal(a, 0.1), length(x)) return a end sample(test([1.0, 2.0,...

After some investigation it looks like this line: https://github.com/TuringLang/DynamicPPL.jl/blob/3602c56dba16bc2b60efbef6bf6ff31226354c7d/src/sampler.jl#L80 resets initialization for HMC samplers (but not for MH).

I'm working on monotonic interpolations based on code from @niclasmattsson : https://github.com/mateuszbaran/Interpolations.jl/commits/monotonic-interpolations Any suggestions are welcome.

Good news, I've started working on this: #550 :slightly_smiling_face:

The PR is now merged and there is a tutorial how to use it: https://github.com/JuliaManifolds/Manifolds.jl/blob/master/tutorials/hand-gestures.jl . Let me know if you need more help.

I think combined cost and gradient calculation and caching are two separate issues? By that I mean that there should be a way to have a conbined calculation without caching....
