Very nice notebook on using Edward for PPCA.

However, the statements about original working version of PPCA is not very true.

  • First, the original working PPCA [1] does not involve prior on weight, so it treats weights as deterministic variable.
  • Second, even for the original PPCA, there are control over the variance, unlike the N(0,1) in your script.
