This was a comment #211 which snowballed into a PR, which ports PyMC3 implementation of Euler-Maruyama scheme for stochastic differential equations. I'll follow up on

  • batch vs event shaping (I don't really understand this yet)
  • sampling
  • tests/examples

but feedback appreciated

I'm also wondering if I should implement the "non-centered" version of the this, where instead of N(mu, sd), we'd have an auxiliary distribution N(0,1) which is then used in the SDE step. I understand this is better for an HMC sampler, but not sure if the other inference algorithms in Edward would also benefit from that.

Apologies for the delay. Was busy at NIPS.

This seems very useful. If I understand correctly, it's a vectorized approach to handle the time series. The log prob implementation makes sense.
