rethinking chpater5 notebook: 5.34 ValueError: shape mismatch: objects cannot be broadcast to a single shape.

[chiyu1203]

I am using chapter 5 notebook. Everything worked until 5.34. which returned this error. Has anyone seen this before?

I use WIndow11, anaconda, pymc v4, installed via yaml file for v4

I have also registered this environment as the new kernel with the following command python -m ipykernel install --user --name stat-rethink2-pymc3_4 --display-name "Python 3.10 (stat-rethink2-pymc3_4)"

Note that I have tried v3 version but it would return AttributeError: module 'numpy' has no attribute 'bool' when importing pymc3 That is why I continoue the rest of the cells with pymc v4.

Below is the problem cell I have and the returned error message.

xseq = [-2, 2]
shared_N.set_value(np.array(xseq))

    m5_5_draft_prior_predictive = pm.sample_prior_predictive()

Can you try running this with the most recent version of PyMC (v5)?

Can you try running this with the most recent version of PyMC (v5)?

Hello! I have tried the most recent version PyMC (v5). This time, I bumped into another error in an earlier cell so I am not sure if that would fix 5.34 Below is the new error I saw in 5.19

data["Divorce_std"] = standardize(data["Divorce"])
data["Marriage_std"] = standardize(data["Marriage"])
data["MedianAgeMarriage_std"] = standardize(data["MedianAgeMarriage"])

# Use Aesara shared variables so we can change them later
marriage_shared = shared(data["Marriage_std"].values)
age_shared = shared(data["MedianAgeMarriage_std"].values)

with pm.Model() as m5_3_A:
    # A -> D <- M
    sigma = pm.Exponential("sigma", 1)
    bA = pm.Normal("bA", 0, 0.5)
    bM = pm.Normal("bM", 0, 0.5)

    a = pm.Normal("a", 0, 0.2)
    mu = pm.Deterministic("mu", a + bA * age_shared + bM * marriage_shared)
    divorce = pm.Normal("divorce", mu, sigma, observed=data["Divorce_std"].values)

    # A -> M
    sigma_M = pm.Exponential("sigma_m", 1)
    bAM = pm.Normal("bAM", 0, 0.5)
    aM = pm.Normal("aM", 0, 0.2)
    mu_M = pm.Deterministic("mu_m", aM + bAM * age_shared)
    marriage = pm.Normal("marriage", mu_M, sigma_M, observed=data["Marriage_std"].values)

    m5_3_A_trace = pm.sample()

Last but not least, this is my computer setting: Window11, anaconda, pymc v5 conda create -c conda-forge -n pymc_env "pymc>=5" Libraries required for this notebook were installed as below: pip install notebook, patsy, causalgraphicalmodels, daft, theano conda install -c conda-forge watermark, seaborn, tqdm, aesara==2.8.7 Initially, I was hoping to install all the libraries according to the environment yaml file for pymc v4. However, there was some verion conflicts so I ended up installing some of the libraries via pip. Please feel free to let me know if you have any thought.
