bayesian - R STAN - How to formulate multivariate co-variance matrix -


i using r stan fit multivariate normal distribution. current model is

b ~ mvn ( 0 , sigma )

where

b = ( x1 , x2 , x3 )
0 = ( 0 , 0 ,0 )

sigma =
enter image description here

i able build co-variance matrix using following:

parameters {     row_vector b[3];         real<lower=0> b_sigma[3];     real<lower=-1, upper=1> b_rho[3]; }  transformed parameters {     matrix[3,3] b_sigma;      b_sigma[1,1] = b_sigma[1] ^ 2;     b_sigma[2,2] = b_sigma[2] ^ 2;     b_sigma[3,3] = b_sigma[3] ^ 2;      b_sigma[1,2] = b_rho[1] * b_sigma[1] * b_sigma[2] ;     b_sigma[2,1] = b_rho[1] * b_sigma[1] * b_sigma[2] ;      b_sigma[3,1] = b_rho[2] * b_sigma[1] * b_sigma[3];     b_sigma[1,3] = b_rho[2] * b_sigma[1] * b_sigma[3];      b_sigma[2,3] = b_rho[3] * b_sigma[2] * b_sigma[3];     b_sigma[3,2] = b_rho[3] * b_sigma[2] * b_sigma[3]; }

however me seems incredibly manual , inefficient. there proper or recommended way building such variance structures ?

on highly related note proc mixed in sas offers wide array of "out box" variance structures such unstructured, compound symmetry, autoregressive , etc. there equivalent in stan or need manually construct them each time ?

note: question more theoretical assumed data + working example not beneficial. happy provide data + working example though if people play around or deem otherwise.

your construction isn't guaranteed produce positive definite matrix. there's cov_matrix type , cholesky_cov_matrix type guarantee positive definiteness. latter goes themulti_normal_cholesky parameterization. recommend scaling correlation matrix, there parallel types.

there aren't out of box variance structures in stan. there several within rstanarm, may more you're looking for. higher-level language stan , lets specify autoregressive , spatial models various hierarchical structure. , automatically preconditions qr decomposition.

Is there a better way to structure post methods in Class Based Views -

i'm using class based views in django , never specify url in ajax calls , omit action parameter in form because know these requests go through post method of class based view. notice view - profile page make many requests depending on user updating on page - post method become convoluted , if/else mess example: def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): # handle user changing available date if request.post.get('availabledate') != none: self.updateavailabledate(request) return jsonresponse({'result':'success'}) if request.post.get('newprojectname') != none: creative_user = creativeuserprofile.objects.get(id = request.user.id) project = project.create_project(creative_user, request.post['newprojectname']) project.save() return jsonresponse({'projectid': project.id }) if request.post.get('projectimage') != none , request.files['file']: proj

performance - Why is XCHG reg, reg a 3 micro-op instruction on modern Intel architectures? -

i'm doing micro-optimization on performance critical part of code , came across sequence of instructions (in at&t syntax): add %rax, %rbx mov %rdx, %rax mov %rbx, %rdx i thought had use case xchg allow me shave instruction , write: add %rbx, %rax xchg %rax, %rdx however, dimay found agner fog's instruction tables , xchg 3 micro-op instruction 2 cycle latency on sandy bridge, ivy bridge, broadwell, haswell , skylake. 3 whole micro-ops , 2 cycles of latency! 3 micro-ops throws off 4-1-1-1 cadence , 2 cycle latency makes worse original in best case since last 2 instructions in original might execute in parallel. now... cpu might breaking instruction micro-ops equivalent to: mov %rax, %tmp mov %rdx, %rax mov %tmp, %rdx where tmp anonymous internal register , suppose last 2 micro-ops run in parallel latency 2 cycles. given register renaming occurs on these micro-architectures, though, doesn't make sense me done way. why wouldn't register renamer

jquery - Responsive Navbar with Sub Navbar -

good day, forgive me nav vocabulary not best. if question confusing apologize. i'm working on navigation bar needs centered on page @ 768px , above. items in nav open (or perhaps toggle) subnav lives directly below. these nav should appear centered on page. i have been able work through responsive portion of nav bar, having main items align vertically , sub nav menu of each item roll out below, , gave them indent separation. working well. however, issue not responsive side, behavior @ width greater 768px. happens toggling menu's sub navigation pushes other main items down page below sub nav. here's code: $(document).ready(function () { //stick in fixed 100% height behind navbar don't wrap $('#slide-nav.navbar-inverse').after($('<div class="inverse" id="navbar-height-col"></div>')); $('#slide-nav.navbar-default').after($('<div id="navbar-height-col"></d
