or (2) an intrinsic problem with the heuristic choice (which would also be in the MATLAB version). I have a slightly higher posterior over (1), but also the second option is not so unlikely.Having said this, checking whether the issue is with the choice of iteration (as opposed to somewhere else, like during optimization) should be quite easy.
In finilization step the elbo mean drops from 0.04 to -0.01.
To reproduce, add
np.random.seed(43)
in the beginning oftests/vbmc/test_vbmc_optimize.py
and runtest_vbmc_multivariate_normal
