bayesian

Pyro's HMC and NUTS implementations are feature-complete and well-tested, but they are quite slow in models like the one in our Bayesian regression tutorial that operate on small tensors for reasons that are largely beyond our control (mostly having to do with the design and implementation of torch.autograd), which is unfortunate because these

Summary:

It'd be nice to have a builder pattern for var contexts to make them easy to construct for testing. Something that could be used like this:

MatrixXd m(3, 2); 
...
var_context vc
