r"""Draw samples from the posterior using the given step methods.
Multiple step methods are supported via compound step methods.
Parameters
----------
draws : int
The number of samples to draw. Defaults to 1000. The number of tuned samples are discarded
by default. See ``discard_tuned_samples``.
init : str
Initialization method to use for auto-assigned NUTS samplers.
* auto: Choose a default initialization method automatically.
Currently, this is ``jitter+adapt_diag``, but this can change in the future.
If you depend on the exact behaviour, choose an initialization method explicitly.
* adapt_diag: Start with a identity mass matrix and then adapt a diagonal based on the
variance of the tuning samples. All chains use the test value (usually the prior mean)
as starting point.
* jitter+adapt_diag: Same as ``adapt_diag``, but add uniform jitter in [-1, 1] to the
starting point in each chain.
* advi+adapt_diag: Run ADVI and then adapt the resulting diagonal mass matrix based on the
sample variance of the tuning samples.
* advi+adapt_diag_grad: Run ADVI and then adapt the resulting diagonal mass matrix based
on the variance of the gradients during tuning. This is **experimental** and might be
removed in a future release.
* advi: Run ADVI to estimate posterior mean and diagonal mass matrix.
* advi_map: Initialize ADVI with MAP and use MAP as starting point.
* map: Use the MAP as starting point. This is discouraged.
* adapt_full: Adapt a dense mass matrix using the sample covariances
step : function or iterable of functions
A step function or collection of functions. If there are variables without step methods,
step methods for those variables will be assigned automatically. By default the NUTS step
method will be used, if appropriate to the model; this is a good default for beginning
users.
n_init : int
Number of iterations of initializer. Only works for 'ADVI' init methods.
initvals : optional, dict, array of dict
Dict or list of dicts with initial values to use instead of the defaults.
The keys should be names of transformed random variables.
Initialization methods for NUTS (see ``init`` keyword) can overwrite the default.
trace : backend, list, or MultiTrace
This should be a backend instance, a list of variables to track, or a MultiTrace object
with past values. If a MultiTrace object is given, it must contain samples for the chain
number ``chain``. If None or a list of variables, the NDArray backend is used.
chain_idx : int
Chain number used to store sample in backend. If ``chains`` is greater than one, chain
numbers will start here.
chains : int
The number of chains to sample. Running independent chains is important for some
convergence statistics and can also reveal multiple modes in the posterior. If ``None``,
then set to either ``cores`` or 2, whichever is larger.
cores : int
The number of chains to run in parallel. If ``None``, set to the number of CPUs in the
system, but at most 4.
tune : int
Number of iterations to tune, defaults to 1000. Samplers adjust the step sizes, scalings or
similar during tuning. Tuning samples will be drawn in addition to the number specified in
the ``draws`` argument, and will be discarded unless ``discard_tuned_samples`` is set to
False.
progressbar : bool, optional default=True
Whether or not to display a progress bar in the command line. The bar shows the percentage
of completion, the sampling speed in samples per second (SPS), and the estimated remaining
time until completion ("expected time of arrival"; ETA).
model : Model (optional if in ``with`` context)
random_seed : int or list of ints
A list is accepted if ``cores`` is greater than one.
discard_tuned_samples : bool
Whether to discard posterior samples of the tune interval.
compute_convergence_checks : bool, default=True
Whether to compute sampler statistics like Gelman-Rubin and ``effective_n``.
callback : function, default=None
A function which gets called for every sample from the trace of a chain. The function is
called with the trace and the current draw and will contain all samples for a single trace.
the ``draw.chain`` argument can be used to determine which of the active chains the sample
is drawn from.
Sampling can be interrupted by throwing a ``KeyboardInterrupt`` in the callback.
jitter_max_retries : int
Maximum number of repeated attempts (per chain) at creating an initial matrix with uniform jitter
that yields a finite probability. This applies to ``jitter+adapt_diag`` and ``jitter+adapt_full``
init methods.
start : dict, or array of dict
Starting point in parameter space (or partial point)
Defaults to ``trace.point(-1))`` if there is a trace provided and model.test_point if not
(defaults to empty dict). Initialization methods for NUTS (see ``init`` keyword) can
overwrite the default.
return_inferencedata : bool, default=False
Whether to return the trace as an :class:`arviz:arviz.InferenceData` (True) object or a `MultiTrace` (False)
Defaults to `False`, but we'll switch to `True` in an upcoming release.
idata_kwargs : dict, optional
Keyword arguments for :func:`arviz:arviz.from_pymc3`
mp_ctx : multiprocessing.context.BaseContent
A multiprocessing context for parallel sampling. See multiprocessing
documentation for details.
pickle_backend : str
One of `'pickle'` or `'dill'`. The library used to pickle models
in parallel sampling if the multiprocessing context is not of type
`fork`.
Returns
-------
trace : pymc3.backends.base.MultiTrace or arviz.InferenceData
A ``MultiTrace`` or ArviZ ``InferenceData`` object that contains the samples.
Notes
-----
Optional keyword arguments can be passed to ``sample`` to be delivered to the
``step_method``\ s used during sampling.
If your model uses only one step method, you can address step method kwargs
directly. In particular, the NUTS step method has several options including:
* target_accept : float in [0, 1]. The step size is tuned such that we
approximate this acceptance rate. Higher values like 0.9 or 0.95 often
work better for problematic posteriors
* max_treedepth : The maximum depth of the trajectory tree
* step_scale : float, default 0.25
The initial guess for the step size scaled down by :math:`1/n**(1/4)`
If your model uses multiple step methods, aka a Compound Step, then you have
two ways to address arguments to each step method:
A. If you let ``sample()`` automatically assign the ``step_method``\ s,
and you can correctly anticipate what they will be, then you can wrap
step method kwargs in a dict and pass that to sample() with a kwarg set
to the name of the step method.
e.g. for a CompoundStep comprising NUTS and BinaryGibbsMetropolis,
you could send:
1. ``target_accept`` to NUTS: nuts={'target_accept':0.9}
2. ``transit_p`` to BinaryGibbsMetropolis: binary_gibbs_metropolis={'transit_p':.7}
Note that available names are:
``nuts``, ``hmc``, ``metropolis``, ``binary_metropolis``,
``binary_gibbs_metropolis``, ``categorical_gibbs_metropolis``,
``DEMetropolis``, ``DEMetropolisZ``, ``slice``
B. If you manually declare the ``step_method``\ s, within the ``step``
kwarg, then you can address the ``step_method`` kwargs directly.
e.g. for a CompoundStep comprising NUTS and BinaryGibbsMetropolis,
you could send ::
step=[pm.NUTS([freeRV1, freeRV2], target_accept=0.9),
pm.BinaryGibbsMetropolis([freeRV3], transit_p=.7)]
You can find a full list of arguments in the docstring of the step methods.

"""Generate weighted posterior predictive samples from a list of models and
a list of traces according to a set of weights.
Parameters
----------
traces : list or list of lists
List of traces generated from MCMC sampling (xarray.Dataset, arviz.InferenceData, or
MultiTrace), or a list of list containing dicts from find_MAP() or points. The number of
traces should be equal to the number of weights.
samples : int, optional
Number of posterior predictive samples to generate. Defaults to the
length of the shorter trace in traces.
models : list of Model
List of models used to generate the list of traces. The number of models should be equal to
the number of weights and the number of observed RVs should be the same for all models.
By default a single model will be inferred from ``with`` context, in this case results will
only be meaningful if all models share the same distributions for the observed RVs.
weights : array-like, optional
Individual weights for each trace. Default, same weight for each model.
random_seed : int, optional
Seed for the random number generator.
progressbar : bool, optional default True
Whether or not to display a progress bar in the command line. The bar shows the percentage
of completion, the sampling speed in samples per second (SPS), and the estimated remaining
time until completion ("expected time of arrival"; ETA).
Returns
-------
samples : dict
Dictionary with the variables as keys. The values corresponding to the
posterior predictive samples from the weighted models.

"""Set up the mass matrix initialization for NUTS.
NUTS convergence and sampling speed is extremely dependent on the
choice of mass/scaling matrix. This function implements different
methods for choosing or adapting the mass matrix.
Parameters
----------
init : str
Initialization method to use.
* auto: Choose a default initialization method automatically.
Currently, this is ``jitter+adapt_diag``, but this can change in the future. If you
depend on the exact behaviour, choose an initialization method explicitly.
* adapt_diag: Start with a identity mass matrix and then adapt a diagonal based on the
variance of the tuning samples. All chains use the test value (usually the prior mean)
as starting point.
* jitter+adapt_diag: Same as ``adapt_diag``, but use test value plus a uniform jitter in
[-1, 1] as starting point in each chain.
* advi+adapt_diag: Run ADVI and then adapt the resulting diagonal mass matrix based on the
sample variance of the tuning samples.
* advi+adapt_diag_grad: Run ADVI and then adapt the resulting diagonal mass matrix based
on the variance of the gradients during tuning. This is **experimental** and might be
removed in a future release.
* advi: Run ADVI to estimate posterior mean and diagonal mass matrix.
* advi_map: Initialize ADVI with MAP and use MAP as starting point.
* map: Use the MAP as starting point. This is discouraged.
* adapt_full: Adapt a dense mass matrix using the sample covariances. All chains use the
test value (usually the prior mean) as starting point.
* jitter+adapt_full: Same as ``adapt_full``, but use test value plus a uniform jitter in
[-1, 1] as starting point in each chain.
chains : int
Number of jobs to start.
n_init : int
Number of iterations of initializer. Only works for 'ADVI' init methods.
model : Model (optional if in ``with`` context)
progressbar : bool
Whether or not to display a progressbar for advi sampling.
jitter_max_retries : int
Maximum number of repeated attempts (per chain) at creating an initial matrix with uniform jitter
that yields a finite probability. This applies to ``jitter+adapt_diag`` and ``jitter+adapt_full``
init methods.
**kwargs : keyword arguments
Extra keyword arguments are forwarded to pymc3.NUTS.
Returns
-------
start : ``pymc3.model.Point``
Starting point for sampler
nuts_sampler : ``pymc3.step_methods.NUTS``
