Issue with Variable Truncation Bounds Matching Distribution Bounds
While brms
allows for variable truncation bounds, it struggles with untruncated observations, notably when bounds are set to extremes like -Inf
and Inf
in Gaussian distributions. This issue seems related to Stan's challenges with infinite gradients, as discussed in Stan issue #2881. Addressing this in brms
could involve refining how such extreme truncation scenarios are handled, e.g. by implementing specific checks for these cases.
