A `posterior` group does not prove that draws came from MCMC; an observation-free model samples a prior target. Preserve chains and draw order, and save inference before costly postprocessing. Establish whether this is exploratory output or intended to support reportable inference: a rough fit may guide debugging without being accepted as an accurate posterior. 2. **Check exploration and precision.** Access `idata["posterior"]` and `idata["sample_stats"]`. Count HMC divergences by chain; inspect rank-normalized split R-hat, bulk/tail ESS and MCSE for the actual estimands, including relevant latent coordinates. R-hat below 1.01 and ESS above 400 are screening heuristics, not guarantees; choose precision requirements in scientific units. 3. **Inspect the plots.** Look for drifting/stuck chains, rank imbalance and divergence clusters. Use energy/BFMI, autocorrelation and ESS evolution where appropriate. Missing or nonfinite diagnostics are unresolved, not zero; HMC statistics may be inapplicable for other algorithms. 4. **Address causes before adding draws.** Investigate scaling, gradients, constraints, identifiability and parameterization. Non-centering often helps weakly informed hierarchies; centering can suit strong data. Higher `target_accept`, thinning or dropping bad chains cannot certify a repair. 5. **Criticize predictions separately.** Generate replicated observations and inspect task-relevant discrepancies, conditional calibration and uncertainty. Distinguish latent means from noisy new observations. In-sample PPCs are not held-out predictive validation. 6. **Evaluate the declared prediction target.** Compute pointwise log likelihood explicitly, check PSIS reliability before LOO/ELPD comparisons, and keep the same observations in the same order. Use grouped holdouts for new groups and past-only training for forecasts. Diagnose high Pareto k rather than hiding it. 7. **Interpret uncertainty honestly.** Report paired ELPD uncertainty and practical relevance, not only ranks. Stacking weights are neither model probabilities nor equivalence tests. Never exponentiate an ELPD difference as a Bayes factor. Adaptive model revisions and repeated CV comparisons can overfit selection. Explain consequential revisions and compare substantive inferences across viable alternatives, not only a winning score. For an action recommendation, propagate uncertainty through stated loss/utility and constraints, or hand off the inference to the decision maker without inventing their preferences. ## References - [Diagnostics and predictive checks](references/diagnostics.md) — a complete diagnostic example, DataTree APIs, interval/MCSE semantics, plots, regression, counts, survival and nested chains. - [Predictive evaluation and model comparison](references/model_evaluation.md) — LOO, high-k remedies, predictive metrics, stacking and validation design. Examples use the modern ArviZ package family; version-specific cautions are identified in the references. This skill does not require another skill.
