Note
Copilot was unable to run its full agentic suite in this review.
Updates the PyMC overview notebook’s explanation of a NUTS-friendly reparameterization by adjusting the LaTeX formatting around an align* block.
Changes:
- Removed the surrounding
$$ ... $$display-math delimiters around a LaTeXalign*environment in a markdown cell.

- The
align*environment must be in math mode to render correctly (e.g., via MathJax in notebooks / myst-nb). Removing the surrounding$$ ... $$likely makes the equation render as plain text or fail to render. Please wrap this block in display-math delimiters again (either$$ ... $$or\\[ ... \\]).
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
Remove `$$` delimiters wrapping `\begin{align*}...\end{align*}` block
in the reparameterization section. The `align*` environment is already
a display math environment, so the extra `$$` causes MathJax to report
"Erroneous nesting of equation structures" instead of rendering the
equation.

The equation after "Finally, to allow the NUTS sampler to sample the β_i more efficiently, we will re-parameterize it as follows:" shows an error on the live docs.
Before (broken — live PyMC docs)
After (fixed — local MathJax 4 verification)
