Request for code review: stan2tfp python wrapper

This looks like a posteriordb sorta thing: Beta-release Bayesian Posterior Database
Maybe you can hook in there and get models to test for correctness

Thanks! I’ll look into it.

The advantage of this over default Stan would be taking advantage of Tensorflow’s scalability, right? So big data stuff?

Sure. Additional reasons might be:

  1. Users who are used to TFP and/or like the TF ecosystem as a whole.
  2. Time-to-first-draw - the TFP code generation is nearly instantaneous.

There are probably other/better reasons, for me these seem like the main motivations…
