Non-bijective deterministic objective

Open YanniPapandreou opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Hi, I have been using numpyro for my research and have been finding it very useful!

I had a quick question which isn't clear to me from the documentation. Is there a way to have an observation I want to condition on be the result of a non-bijective deterministic function? I saw in this issue #932 that this can be done using the TransformedDistribution API with a bijective transform. Is this not possible with a non-bijective transform?

Use nested sampling, JAXNS can handling arbitrary probability models. JAXNS is integrated with numpyro.
