Theano datatype issue in model6.9 week04

[Rabeez]

I was getting a TypeError on this line even though you had casted the column to an Int64 already.

statrethink_course_in_pymc3/notebooks/pymc3/rethink_stats_pymc3_w04.ipynb

Line 430 in 820436d

" #married = pm.Data('married', d['married'].values)\n",

For some reason casting to Int64 does not make a numpy typed series and causes Theano to freak out. Just changing this cast to astype('int') here solves the issue.

statrethink_course_in_pymc3/notebooks/pymc3/rethink_stats_pymc3_w04.ipynb

Line 396 in 820436d

"d['married'] = d['married'].astype('Int64')"

I'll submit a PR later unless you get to this first 😄

I'm still experiencing trouble after that change @Rabeez the error message changed though:

ValueError: Cannot broadcast provided shapes (0,), (), () given size: ()

Code from the previous cell with the change as recommended above

d = d.loc[d.age > 17,]
d['age'] = ( d['age'] - 18 ) / ( 65 - 18 )
d['married'] = d['married'].astype('int')

Model 6.9 cell code:

#married = theano.shared(d.married)

with pm.Model() as model_69:
    # Data
    age = pm.Data('age', d['age'].values)
    married = pm.Data('married', d['married'].values)
    happiness = pm.Data('happiness', d['happiness'].values)
    
    # Priors
    a = pm.Normal('a', mu=0, sd=1, shape=2)
    bA = pm.Normal('bA', mu=0, sd=2)
    sigma = pm.Exponential('sigma', lam=1)
    
    # Regression
    mu = a[married] + bA * age
    happy_hat = pm.Normal('happy_hat', mu=mu, sd=sigma, observed=happiness)
    
    # Prior sampling, trace definition and posterior sampling
    prior = pm.sample_prior_predictive(samples = 30)
    posterior_69 = pm.sample()
    posterior_pred_69 = pm.sample_posterior_predictive(posterior_69)

Running pymc3 3.10, tried reverting back to 3.7 for the purposes of working my way through this textbook, but I was running into tons of issues with theano. Any advice?

EDIT:
It appears that this may be a result of an interaction with age though as the very first line of the stack mentions this:
WARNING (theano.tensor.opt): Cannot construct a scalar test value from a test value with no size: age
