Non-hierarchical models seem to have no chain pathologies, so the problem lies with the hierarchical aspect of the model.
hyperbolic + magnitude effect models Separate: ok. Mixed & Hierarchical: Rhat ok, but chain pathologies
hyperbolic Separate: ok. Mixed: problematic Rhat. Hierarchical: seems ok.
exponential Separate: ok. Mixed & Hierarchical: chain pathologies.
not appropriate for non-parametric it seems
exp-power model is different. Very very bad. Doesn't seem to converge for separate model, and stan exits for the mixed model. (Full hierarchical model not implemented yet)
Current status, before reparamaterization:
Non-hierarchical models seem to have no chain pathologies, so the problem lies with the hierarchical aspect of the model.
Implement updates for the STAN models:
