Max_plate_nesting

Misc.

Hi,

I am using pyro 0.21 . Some examples use max_plate_nesting as an argument to SVI to to Elbo. However, I get an error when executing:

from pyro.infer import SVI, JitTraceEnum_ELBO, TraceEnum_ELBO
   ...
    Elbo = JitTraceEnum_ELBO if args.jit else TraceEnum_ELBO
    elbo = Elbo(max_plate_nesting=2) # orig

This code comes from the LDA example included in lda.py, found in the examples/ folder of the pyro distribution. If it is deprecated, what does one use instead? Thanks.

I uninstalled the version of pyro that I had, and used pip off of the source of 0.21 . I now have access to max_plate_nesting when using Elbo.
