I'd like to get started on this, but I'm a beginner. Could you please point me in the right direction?

Hi @eliserichards It will be a pleasure for me to try this.

Yes, I got the test for `moment` but I am not sure how the `expected` is calculated here. Is there any equation to determine the `expected`? https://github.com/pymc-devs/pymc/blob/7af102d40f7b64184cd0fa013ced8570772fc8eb/pymc/tests/test_distributions_moments.py#L1147-L1151

Ok got it now, do I need to create a separate test for batched alpha as we did in `TestStickBreakingWeights_1D_alpha` ?

Is it okay if I work on this?

I need some assistance in replacing the following code with `make_initial_point_fn` https://github.com/pymc-devs/pymc/blob/e6fc2ec100dafacca4f0b9eab40661174707afcd/pymc/smc/smc.py#L179-L184 https://github.com/pymc-devs/pymc/blob/d84c71884762fb925eb7272b9d28e879399e326a/pymc/initial_point.py#L130

Hello, @ricardoV94. I'm still having trouble with `make_initial_point_fn`. I saw your previous comment but was unable to put it into action. I need your assistance with this.

Hello @ricardoV94, after making these changes I ran the code mentioned in the issue, and it ran without error this time. However, I am unsure how to select the appropriate...

test has been added, please have a look.
