Description
We can't get new patches into samplers because there aren't any reliable tests.
We need tests for the samplers for
- accuracy on means
- accuracy on variances
- speed regression tests
We also want to test things that Michael has suggested for HMC like
- step size * 2 ^ tree_depth is in a range --- how often and what range?
We have to make all these sensitive to the fact that we have MCMC.
- component testing for mcmc
