I think it makes sense for us to have the .from_*
methods, even if under the hood we go through arviz
? Anything that makes it easy to move from one ecosystem to bayesblend
and back would, I think, be good to have.
That said, I guess the question is—is the use of arviz
as a bridge going to come along with any issues re maintainability? If so, we be best to directly interface with other libraries. If not, it makes sense to me to just use arviz
to add more support faster 🤔
BayesBlend currently works with CmdStanPy models, and ArviZ. Users can, in theory, use any modelling pipeline compatible with ArviZ (e.g. PyStan, CmdStanPy, PyMC, NumPyro etc.), and use ArviZ as the bridge. But should we provide other
BayesBlend.from_*
methods for other software directly?
