Turning off eta adaptation in ADVI

[David Knowles]

Hi all,

Great to have ADVI exposed in rstan again, but I'm unfortunately
getting worse results with the new eta adaptation. Is there a way to
turn this off?

Thanks

David.

hi david, there is an `adapt_engaged` argument to vb(), which you can set to `adapt_engaged=FALSE`. I don’t recall if this forces a default parameter for `eta`; if not, you would have to specify it with, say, `eta=0.1`.
