Enforce non negative values in distribution #83

Open gowthamnatarajan opened 6 years ago

Is there a way to specify a non negative constraint for a column with real values?

No yet. This would be a nice addition and could be integrated by introducing "Truncated Normal Distributions" which perfectly fits within the variational framework.

We can try to add this functionality. But it would be a matter of weeks, not days, unfortunately.
