Update typing in the library following current best practice.
General guideline:
ArrayLike
andArrayLikeTree
to annotate function input,Array
andArrayTree
to annotate function output.Leaves of a Pytree definition in the library are in principle annotated as
Array
, as they are mostly internal representation. For example:Something I am not happy about is the way
logdensity
is annotated. While they areArray
(as they are in most cases should be output of a Jax function), we annotate them asfloat
to empathizes they should be scalar. I am leaving them asfloat
for now until we introduce shape annotation.
