Break out MCMC plotting library? · Issue #793 · pymc-devs/pymc (original) (raw)

Just testing the waters to see if there's interest in breaking out some common code for dealing with MCMC samples into independent packages. For example, R has coda which brings together a lot of common routines.

Code for plotting MCMC samples seems like a good candidate for being placed in a separate library for a couple of reasons that I'd be happy to go into.

I also wonder if one couldn't standardize on some of the conventions used by seaborn. (Creating this issue was occasioned by seeing @twiecki's comment on seaborn, mwaskom/seaborn#643 (comment))
