This pull request proposes to deprecate the following:

  • model wrappers, including PythonModel, PyMC3Model, and StanModel—in favor of the native language;
  • the edward.stats module—in favor of random variables in edward.models;
  • MFVI—in favor of KLqp;
  • placeholder—in favor of TensorFlow's placeholder.

In addition, SciPy is now an optional rather than necessary dependency.

The plan is to continue support for the above for one or two more versions, but with the idea in mind to remove them in some future release.

related to #341; and whether or not to continue work in #163; #164; #50
