I’m trying to recreate the model from chapter 5.1 to estimate correlation from the book Bayesian Cognitive Modeling: A Practical Course using Turing. However, I keep running into an issue with MvNormal where it does not like the covariance matrix because it says that it is not positive semi-definite…

I think I am one step closer to a solution and @jkbest2 has the right idea. For Gamma distributions, I believe Distributions.jl parameterizes the Gamma distribution with shape \alpha and scale \theta while WinBUGS uses shape \alpha and mean parameter \mu = \alpha\theta. So the Gamma(0.001, 0.001) in…
