Thanks. I know about Anglican, but it is not even in the same category, other than being Bayesian. Anglican also has MCMC, but, looking at the implementation, it seems it is useful only on smaller problems with straightforward and low-dimensional basic distributions, or discrete problems/distributions. I do not see how it can be used to solve even standard textbook examples in "real" bayesian data analysis. Otherwise, I'd use/improve Anglican, although its GPL license is a bit of a showstopper.
I would loved to have been able to see how far Anglican can go performance-wise, and stretch it to its limits, though. However, it wasn't obvious how to construct any of more serious data analysis problems. Having seen its implementation, I expect the performance comparison would make Bayadera shine, so I hope I'll be able to construct some examples that can be implemented in both environments :) On Sunday, October 23, 2016 at 3:47:50 PM UTC+2, Boris V.
