I agree that most of the arguments against including these convenience variables no longer apply, so it's worth reconsidering this. > * I couldn't find documentation explicitly discouraging the use...

There are three main ways to use softmax for simplex transforms. One uses parameter expansion to retain bijectivity: `f(y) = [softmax(y); logsumexp(y)]`. The other two come from compositional data analysis...

> I'm currently testing performance of each of these versus stick-breaking. Coming back to this, the experiment results are at https://sethaxen.github.io/simplex_transforms_results/, and I believe these results were the motivation for...

There's still a use-case for a bijector that is effectively `F = cholesky(R)` for correlation matrix `R`. Suppose one wants a parameter `F` because their model needs the Cholesky factorization,...

Is there a place where it would make sense to also document use of a learned posterior as a prior in a Pyro model? The killer app would be to...

As we discussed, a necessary but not sufficient check that things worked well when (specifically, that the learned likelihood is sufficiently accurate in the region of parameter space where Pyro's...

MLJBase v1.10.0 is now compatible with StatisticalMeasures v0.3.

Doctests for `rstar` currently fail because a large number of warnings are now being raised at https://github.com/JuliaAI/CategoricalDistributions.jl/blob/7de33c24e3fa02c7f5aadecc34f70ad961a4baec/src/types.jl#L385-L394 Note that this check has always been present in CategoricalDistributions and actually predates...

For some reason, I can't seem to get the extension to work. Package precompilation fails with the [error](https://github.com/JuliaMath/AbstractFFTs.jl/actions/runs/5046767252/jobs/9052738771?pr=103#step:6:168): ```julia ERROR: The following 1 direct dependency failed to precompile: AbstractFFTs [621f4979-c628-5d54-868e-fcf4e3e8185c]...

Nevermind, it seems extensions cannot have weak deps that are also deps. In this case, the dep needs to be loaded within the extension from the main package, see e.g....
