Holy cow! I was looking for this exact package for extending pymc! Now I've found two packages that do basically exactly what I want (Theano and ALGOPY). Does ALYGOPY handle derivatives of operations on higher order ndimensional arrays well (efficiently and including broadcasting and such)? John

2010-08-01 Thread Sebastian Walter
I'm happy to announce the first official release of ALGOPY in version 0.2.1. Rationale: The purpose of ALGOPY is the evaluation of higher-order derivatives in the forward and reverse mode of Algorithmic Differentiation (AD) using univariate Taylor polynomial arithmetic. Particular focus a
