So this is about the function that computes the quantiles of the posterior. Currently it uses the posterior mode as starting value, but there might be a better way of choosing this starting value as suggested by Richard.
Hi @tomtomme just another topic for issue labels: please note waiting for requester
label will auto colse the issue somedays ago. So we should add it carefully for feature request issue😜 Thank you for your work!
@shun2wang Yes, the tag was not appropriate here. Thx for the hint!
I am not sure if you are aware of this, but I have written this code in my time as a JASP team member. This issue was meant as a reminder for myself, but I never saw the need to change it because it is fast enough. Also, knowing the Bayesian experts on the JASP team in person, I am more hopeful than you that they know what "use quantile value based on conjugate analysis" means :). But again, personally I think what we have at the moment is perfectly fine.
Thx for the info! I were not aware. So we leave it as is and you can close this if you feel the time has come or have time to dig into the code again. I am just someone from the translation team who tries to clean up all those old issues, so I really appreciate your fast responses.
@tomtomme this issue is indeed something we shouldn't forget. At the same time, the priority is not that high (it's an improvement, not a bug). It would be useful to reorganize these kinds of issues into a project at some point because right now it's very easy to lose track of them.
Suggestion by Richard: Maybe use quantile value based on conjugate analysis?
