Hi @ben18785 , sounds great, but what are you suggesting we do exactly? Add methods to pints.plot
? Write unit tests? Extend the notebook examples for models?
A lot of these checks seem visual, so might be better adding methods to pints.plot
?
Agreed! We had a brief chat about this yesterday :-)
There's precedence for pints.plot
doing simulations (a few should be fine, right?) in the series()
plot (aka the posterior predictive distribution)

Cool, sounds good!

so what is the TODO list on this issue? Would each of the checkbox list on the issue description be a new notebook demonstrating the particular check? This seems like a chapter of a textbook, rather than a "small issue" ;)
These are essential for the paper as they are ways to check a model's fit to data.
We already do a bit of this in notebooks but we should do much more. The following are quite simple to implement and would highlight many inadequacies in the statistical model (and possibly the mathematical model too):
