Summary

This PR changes the parameters of the LinearRegressionHMM test to prevent it failing.

Details

At present the LinearRegressionHMM test_sample_and_fit test is failing. The monotonically_increasing assertion is failing as the log likelihoods quickly become jnp.nan.

I think this is fundamentally a question of the stability of the linear solve. I have made some changes to the inputs which are hopefully more robust to solving.

Changes:

  • Replace jnp.ones input with jr.normal.
  • Reduce size of hidden state to 3.

There are likely more principled ways of choosing a more robust test case but in the interest of getting the test to pass I think it is helpful to make a simple change quickly.

Additional changes:

  • Remove unused datetime import and commented lines.

Changes:
- Replace `jnp.ones` input with `jr.normal`.
- Reduce size of hidden state to 3.
- Remove unused `datetime` import and commented lines.

Fundamentally the problem is that the solve step can be unstable. This
does not resolve that but instead chooses a set up which is less
vulnerable to the instability.
