bayesian - Hyperpriors for hierarchical models with Stan -


i'm looking fit model estimate multiple probabilities binomial data stan. using beta priors each probability, i've been reading using hyperpriors pool information , encourage shrinkage on estimates.

i've seen example define hyperprior in pymc, i'm not sure how similar stan

@pymc.stochastic(dtype=np.float64) def beta_priors(value=[1.0, 1.0]):     a, b = value     if <= 0 or b <= 0:         return -np.inf     else:         return np.log(np.power((a + b), -2.5))  = beta_priors[0] b = beta_priors[1]

with , b being used parameters beta prior.

can give me pointers on how similar done stan?

following suggestions in comments i'm not sure follow approach, reference thought i'd @ least post answer question of how accomplished in stan.

after asking around on stan discourses , further investigation found solution set custom density distribution , use target += syntax. equivalent stan of example pymc be:

parameters {   real<lower=0> a;   real<lower=0> b;   real<lower=0,upper=1> p;   ... }  model {   target += log((a + b)^-2.5);    p ~ beta(a,b)   ... }

angular - Ionic slides - dynamically add slides before and after -

hi i'm using ngfor create set of 3 slides while starting in middle i'm guaranteed able slide left or right on start. when slide right can simple listen reachedend , push slide array i'm looping. but have problem adding slide beginning. if same above , use e.g. array.unshift() or spread add item beginning, view think it's on position 0 , snaps view new slide. the code below work animates slide change index 1. slide = [0,1,2] //example loop slidechanged(event) { if(this.slides.isbeginning()){ this.slide = [this.slide[0]-1, ...this.slide]; this.slides.update(); this.slides.slideto(1) } } <ion-slides [initialslide]="1" (ionslidedidchange)="slidechanged($event)"> <ion-slide *ngfor="let item of slide"> <h1>slide {{item}}</h1> </ion-slide> </ion-slides> any appreciated! you can using ionslidenextend , ionslideprevend events slides . please

minify - Minimizing css files -

i want know how css files can minimized. currently, using external sites css minifier compress css files. however, after removing whitespaces, comments, etc, file sizes reduced 10-15%. how frameworks bootstrap manage make minimized versions kilobytes. as example, css is: body { background-color: #ff0; } the reduction goes 28 bytes 22 bytes other css files have lot more characters still smaller this. actually minifying code means it's remove thing code white space characters new line characters comments block delimiters it reduces amount of code has transferred on web , speed site load fastly.but unreadable format.

Add a dynamic header in angular 2 http provider -

i have http interceptor built via tutorial https://scotch.io/@kashyapmukkamala/using-http-interceptor-with-angular2 the problem need have dynamic header changes automatically once changes 'mode' in app. service able tell interceptor change header, or have interceptor pull header (which string)from service each request. able throwing away patch method, call http.patch('new header string') set header string. call in service controls 'mode' setting. wondering if there way interceptor pull recent value service each request or if can add method http provider via interceptor? i've tried call service in interceptor each request returns undefined. because creating new instance of service or copying value before service fired , loaded/changed data. i don't want pass header string every http provider call because defeats purpose of having interceptor, id able set once changes or have provider fetch service before makes request. tl;dr : need add autom
