Updated Prior #506

Open saucetray opened 1 year ago

saucetray commented 1 year ago

Is there a way in this library to use the model you ran inference on as your new prior?

saucetray commented 1 year ago

I saw someone thumbs this up but I don't see anything in the documentation explaining using your current model as a prior.

No, it's not possible. We don't have a closed-form representation of the posterior, which we need to use something as a prior.
