stanbkt.fits.FitMethod

class stanbkt.fits.FitMethod(*values)

Bases: StrEnum

Enumeration of supported fitting methods.

Variables:

• MCMC (str) – Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling.

• MLE (str) – Maximum likelihood / optimization.

• VB (str) – Variational Bayes.

• PATHFINDER (str) – Pathfinder variational approximation.

MCMC = 'mcmc'

MLE = 'mle'

PATHFINDER = 'pathfinder'

VB = 'vb'

static infer_fit_method_from_stan_fit(fit)

Infer the fit method from a CmdStan fit object.

Parameters:

fit (Union[CmdStanMCMC, CmdStanMLE, CmdStanVB, CmdStanPathfinder]) – Fit object created by CmdStanPy.

Returns:

Inferred fit method enum value.

Return type:

FitMethod

Raises:

ValueError – If fit type is unsupported.
