Description
Description
The updated PR #25 resulted in differences in results for a pre-existing notebook, seen in Review of examples/diagnostics_and_criticism/Diagnosing_biased_Inference_with_Divergences.ipynb
There was an upgrade from PyMC3 V3.9 to V 3.11.
- I suspect the nature of pm.sample affected the outcome?

Research direction
Start with examples/diagnostics_and_criticism/Diagnosing_biased_Inference_with_Divergences.ipynb and compare its current outputs with the ReviewNB view for PR #25. Investigate the PyMC3 3.9-to-3.11 change and whether pm.sample explains the differing parallel results. Done means the cause is established and the notebook's expected results or documentation are corrected.
