Month 2025-04 highlights: Delivered two high-impact features in bayesflow that enhance simulation flexibility and probabilistic modeling capabilities, complemented by tests and code-quality improvements. Key features include (1) Override simulator outputs with auto-batched inputs in SequentialSimulator via a new replace_inputs parameter (with tests), and (2) log-determinant tracking for Jacobians in Adapter and transforms to support change-of-variables calculations in probabilistic modeling (with tests). No critical bugs fixed this month; focus was on reliability, testing, and maintainability. Impact: enables more scalable sequential simulations and more accurate probabilistic inference workflows, reducing manual intervention and modeling errors. Technologies/skills: Python, unit tests, transform math (Jacobians), commit-driven development, and parameter design.
