Adds the registry entry for the DDM with Normal trial-to-trial
variability in non-decision time (t_trial ~ Normal(t, st); st is the
kernel SD, support unbounded). approx_differentiable only, LAN via
ddm_normal_st.onnx; bounds are the network's training box.
The entry ships ndt_edge_width = 3.0 as its DEFAULT: the Normal kernel
is unbounded, so the admissibility floor belongs at the practical
3-sigma edge t - 3st (measured: floor at t - st -> rhat 3.39 / ESS 4;
at t - 3st -> rhat 1.010 / ESS 697, 0% divergences). With this key in
the registry, switching kernels is just the model string - ddm_uniform_st gets
its exact t - st floor, ddm_normal_st gets t - 3*st, and neither requires
the user to remember anything. Stacked on feat/ndt-edge-width-config,
which plumbs the field.
GATED - do not merge before:
ssm-simulators ships the ddm_normal_st model config
(feat/ddm-normal-st-model-config) so the simulator side resolves.
The LAN is retrained with exact-likelihood labels and published. The
current network fabricates ~20 nats of spurious density at the
st -> 0 training-box corner with a sign-flipped st-gradient there
(KDE labels cannot resolve structure below their own bandwidth);
publishing it would bake that defect into the ecosystem.
Records that the bounds are the network's training box rather than modelling
choices, and that st means a uniform half-width in ddm_uniform_st but a Normal SD in
ddm_normal_st, so equal st values are not equal dispersions.
Lists the model where users look for it, and adds a changelog entry.
Stacked on #1344 (which is itself stacked on #1292; the first two commits are theirs — review the top commit). Model string is ddm_normal_st. Its ssm-simulators config is in a separate PR there (branch feat/ddm-normal-st-model-config); until it lands, ssm-simulators does not know ddm_normal_st, so the simulator side does not resolve. The network ddm_normal_st.onnx is not yet on franklab/HSSM; until it is, constructing the model needs loglik=<local path>.
Tests: the branch's own test files pass on current main (fefed57) in an environment with ssm-simulators 0.14.0 and bambi 0.21; see the commit for the added cases. Fork CI has not been approved for this fork, so no check-runs appear here.
Added support for the ddm_normal_st model, which accounts for normally distributed non-decision-time variability and uses an approximate differentiable likelihood.
The model includes parameters for drift rate, boundary separation, starting point, non-decision time, and non-decision-time variability.
Log-likelihoods are floored for response times at or below the non-decision-time edge. The edge width defaults to 1.0; 3.0 is recommended for unbounded normal kernels. This setting has no effect when variability is not used.

Walkthrough
The PR adds ddm_normal_st as a supported model with a default configuration and an ndt_edge_shift setting. It adds configuration and edge-policy tests, and updates the model catalog and likelihood tutorial.
Adds ddm_normal_st to SupportedModels and defines its response fields, parameters, choices, likelihood, bounds, and ndt_edge_shift setting.
Configuration tests and documentation tests/test_modelconfig.py, tests/unit/modelconfig/test_lan_bounds_match_training.py, docs/reference/models-and-likelihoods.md, docs/tutorials/likelihoods.ipynb
Tests the configuration and likelihood floor, records the model’s edge policy in the LAN bounds check, and documents the model and ndt_edge_width setting.
Issue 1393 describes requirements for registering ddm_normal_st, including its training bound for st; this PR adds that model configuration and bound.
Issue 1496 discusses fit failures and wrong recovery for ddm_normal_st; this PR documents the support guard, training bounds, and non-positive simulated response times.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to dbba1
The new model needs an explicit local likelihood path until its default network is published. Its public description also misidentifies it as custom. Resolve these issues before merging.
Security Architecture Review
Security architecture risk:🔵 Low · up to 4f7d9
The change has bounded library-level impact, but inconsistent defaults and unverified release prerequisites can affect callers. No concrete new security attack path was established.
Retained concerns
Medium · architecture · observed: The newly supported model has inconsistent likelihood semantics across public construction paths. make_distribution_for_supported_model loads its configuration but omits ndt_edge_width when constructing the distribution, causing the generic width of 1.0 to replace the declared width of 3.0. The primary HSSM path forwards the setting correctly.
Medium · architecture · inferred: Publishing the supported registration before its external prerequisites are satisfied could expose callers to unavailable simulation or likelihood functionality, or the inaccurate likelihood described by the PR. The explicit pre-merge gates are strong counterevidence, but their completion is not established by repository-local evidence.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The directly demonstrated exposure is library callers selecting the new model and consumers of the shared guard whose parameters include t and st. The evidence does not establish independently attackable tenant, service, credential or data-store scope.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — HSSM owns model defaults and likelihood wiring, while simulator implementation and likelihood publication remain externally owned. The registration uses a fixed likelihood filename; this evidence does not demonstrate a newly attacker-controlled artifact location or increased execution authority.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
inferred — Deep-copied configuration limits ordinary cross-instance mutation, and explicit external release gates support failure containment. Neither establishes external release availability or comprehensive security coverage.

franklab/HSSM · Hugging Face # Utilizing Custom ONNX Models Stored in Hugging Face within HSSM This guide will walk you through the process of using custom ONNX models stored in Hugging Face within HSSM (Hierarchical State Space Model) framework. ## Prerequisites 1. Python 3.8 or later. 2. HSSM library installed in your Python environment. 3. A pre-trained ONNX model stored on Hugging Face model hub. ## Step-by-step guide ### Step 1: Import necessary libraries ``` import pandas as pd import hssm import ssms.basic_simulators pytensor.config.floatX = "float32" ``` ### Step 2: Define HSSM Configuration You will have to define the configuration of your model. Make sure you are defining the log-likelihood kind as "approx_differentiable" and providing the Hugging Face model name in the loglik field. ``` my_hssm = hssm.HSSM( data=dataset_lan, loglik_kind = "approx_differentiable", loglik = "levy.onnx", model="custom", model_config= { "backend": "jax", "list_params": ["v", "a", "z", "alpha", "t"], "bounds": { "v": (-3.0, 3.0), "a": (0.3, 3.0), "z": (0.1, 0.9), "alpha": (1.0, 2.0), "t": (1e-3, 2.0), }, } ) ``` This creates an HSSM object my_hssm using the custom ONNX model levy.onnx from the Hugging Face repository. ``` my_hssm.sample(cores=2, draws=500, tune=500, mp_ctx="forkserver") ``` # Uploading ONNX Files to a Hugging Face Repository If your ONNX file is not currently housed in your Hugging Face repository, you can include it by adhering to the steps delineated below: 1. Import the HfApi module from huggingface_hub: ``` from huggingface_hub import HfApi ``` 1. Upload the ONNX file using the upload_file method: ``` api = HfApi() api.upload_file( path_or_fileobj="test.onnx", path_in_repo="test.onnx", repo_id="franklab/HSSM", repo_type="model", create_pr=True, ) ``` The execution of these steps will generate a Pull Request (PR) on Hugging Face, which will subsequently be evaluated by a member of our team. ## Creating a Pull Request and a New ONNX Model Creating a Pull Request on Hugging Face Navigate to the following link: Hugging Face PR By doing so, you will generate a Pull Request on Hugging Face, which will be reviewed by our team members. Creating a Custom ONNX Model ### Establish a Network Config and State Dictionary Files in PyTorch To construct a custom model and save it as an ONNX file, you must create a network configuration file and a state dictionary file in PyTorch. Refer to the instructions outlined in the README of the LANFactory package. ### Convert Network Config and State Dictionary Files to ONNX Once you&`#39`;ve generated the network configuration and state dictionary files, you will need to convert these files into an ONNX format.

# docs/index.md - Branch: main - Repository: lnccbrown/LANfactory --- ## LANfactory PyPI PyPI_dl Code style: black License: MIT `lanfactory` is a lightweight Python package for training likelihood approximation networks (LANs) — and their choice-probability siblings — for sequential sampling models (SSMs), using PyTorch or JAX/Flax. Starting from simulator-generated training data, it provides dataloaders, network factories, and training loops, and exports the trained networks to ONNX so they can serve as likelihoods in HSSM. --- ## Ecosystem fit LANfactory is the network-training layer of the HSSM ecosystem: it trains LAN/CPN/OPN networks on simulated data and exports them to ONNX in the form that HSSM consumes as likelihoods. For the full map — what each package owns, how artifacts flow between them, and which versions work together — see The HSSM ecosystem. --- ## Installation ```bash pip install lanfactory ``` Optional integrations ship as extras: `lanfactory[mlflow]` (experiment tracking), `lanfactory[hf]` (HuggingFace Hub upload/download), `lanfactory[sbi]` and `lanfactory[bayesflow]` (ONNX export of externally trained networks), or `lanfactory[all]` for everything. --- ## Quickstart Given a folder of training data files generated with ssm-simulators, the minimal PyTorch training loop is: ```python from pathlib import Path import lanfactory file_list = list(Path("training_data").glob("*.pickle")) train_dl, valid_dl, input_dim = lanfactory.trainers.make_train_valid_dataloaders( file_ids=file_list, batch_size=128, network_type="lan" ) net = lanfactory.trainers.TorchMLPFactory( network_config=lanfactory.config.network_configs.network_config_mlp, input_dim=input_dim, network_type="lan", ) trainer = lanfactory.trainers.ModelTrainerTorchMLP( model=net, train_config=lanfactory.config.network_configs.train_config_mlp, train_dl=train_dl, valid_dl=valid_dl, ) trainer.train_and_evaluate(output_folder="torch_models/ddm", output_file_id="ddm") ``` For the full walkthrough — data generation, configuration, training, and inspecting the learned likelihood — see the training tutorial. --- ## Export to ONNX Trained PyTorch networks convert to ONNX with the `transform-onnx` CLI: ```bash transform-onnx --network-config-file <network_config.pickle> \ --state-dict-file <state_dict.pt> --input-shape <input_dim> \ --output-onnx-file <model.onnx> ``` The resulting file can be used directly with HSSM — see The ONNX likelihood contract for the artifact rules. Networks trained outside LANfactory can be exported the same way — see the sbi and bayesflow export guides. --- ## Where to go next - **Tutorials** - Train a network (PyTorch LAN) — the canonical end-to-end training walkthrough. - How to train with the JAX backend — the same workflow on JAX/Flax. - Exporting sbi → ONNX and exporting bayesflow → ONNX — runnable export notebooks. - **Guides** - Network types: LAN, CPN, OPN — what each network learns and how their configs differ. - MLflow integration — track and compare training runs. - HuggingFace Hub — upload and download trained networks. - Exporting sbi models and exporting bayesflow models — bring externally trained networks into HSSM. - **API reference** — config, trainers, onnx, hf, utils. We hope this package may be helpful in case you attempt to train LANs for your own research.
<title>The ONNX likelihood contract - HSSM</title>
https://lnccbrown.github.io/HSSM/how_to/custom_onnx_likelihoods/
The ONNX likelihood contract - HSSM # ONNX likelihood contract¶ This page is the canonical contract for an ONNX file used with `loglik_kind="approx_differentiable"`, regardless of whether LANfactory, sbi, BayesFlow, or another tool trained the network. Validation status Documentation CI strictly builds this static contract. HSSM&`#39`;s loader and package tests enforce the concrete-dimension rule and smoke-load compliant artifacts; exporter parity and scientific recovery remain the artifact producer&`#39`;s responsibility. ## Required graph shape¶ An approximate differentiable ONNX likelihood represents exactly one trial: - Input: one flat vector containing model parameters in `list_params` order, followed by the observed data columns. Its shape may be `(D,)` or `(1, D)`. - Output: that trial&`#39`;s log-likelihood. It may be a scalar, `(1,)`, or `(1, 1)`, provided it squeezes to one value. - Dimensions: every input dimension must be a concrete integer. Symbolic dimensions and `dynamic_axes` are forbidden. HSSM batches the per-trial function itself with `jax.vmap`. Do not export a dynamic or multi-trial batch axis for this route. A concrete singleton leading dimension such as `(1, D)` remains valid. ## Why dynamic dimensions are rejected¶ `jaxonnxruntime` traces an ONNX graph against its construction-time input shape and can bake those shapes into the translated closure. A symbolic batch axis can therefore produce numerically wrong values at another batch size without a clear runtime failure, especially when a graph contains a batch-dependent `Reshape` or a flow log-determinant accumulator. Single-trial export followed by HSSM-side vectorization is mathematically equivalent for a per-trial likelihood and removes that silent-corruption path. HSSM rejects symbolic input dimensions when it loads the graph. ## Rank is exporter-specific¶ Rank is not the invariant; concrete dimensions are. Supported ecosystem exporters legitimately produce both forms: | Exporter | Traced input | Typical lowering | | --- | --- | --- | | LANfactory Torch LAN/CPN/OPN | `(1, D)` | `Gemm` | | LANfactory JAX LAN/CPN/OPN | `(1, D)` | `Gemm` | | LANfactory sbi | `(D,)` | `MatMul` + `Add` | | LANfactory BayesFlow | `(D,)` | `MatMul` + `Add` | Flow graphs that slice a combined parameter/observation vector must use a rank-1 dummy. A `(1, D)` flow trace can emit `Slice` operations on axis 1 that fail after HSSM vectorizes the function. Plain feed-forward LANs work at either rank. Match the exporter and rely on its contract assertion rather than copying another exporter&`#39`;s dummy shape. ## Precision constraint for flow graphs¶ Flow-based exports can contain the `INT64_MAX` sentinel used for open-ended slices. With `hssm.set_floatX("float32")`, truncating that constant would change the graph. HSSM raises a `ValueError` instead. Use HSSM&`#39`;s default float64 setting for flow-based ONNX likelihoods. ## Input ordering¶ HSSM supplies values in this order: 1. model parameters in `list_params` order; then 2. the observed data columns, normally reaction time and response. The exporter and `ModelConfig` must agree on that order. A dimensionally valid graph with a different column order can still return plausible but incorrect likelihoods. ## Producer verification checklist¶ Before publishing an artifact: 1. inspect the ONNX input and confirm that every dimension is concrete; 2. compare the source model and ONNX Runtime across in-bounds parameter draws; 3. use an exporter tolerance appropriate to the model (the ecosystem exporters use `atol=1e-4` as the outer parity bound); 4. smoke-load the file in a real `hssm.HSSM` model and require a finite initial log-probability; and 5. run parameter recovery before using the likelihood for scientific claims. LANfactory exporters provide `lanfactory.onnx.contract.assert_single_trial_contract` for the first check, plus ONNX checker, runtime-session, input-width, and optional operator checks. It does not c…[truncated]

Gate the default model on the published LAN and simulator configuration.
HSSM(model="ddm_normal_st") registers ddm_normal_st.onnx, but the file is not bundled or present in the configured franklab/HSSM repository. The constructor reaches ONNX resolution through make_likelihood_callable, so it fails unless the user supplies a local loglik path.
Publish and pin the required artifacts before registering this model, or defer the supported-model registration and documentation until then.

Agreed this is the open question for this PR. The network is not on franklab/HSSM yet and the simulator config is in lnccbrown/ssm-simulators#361; until both land, constructing the model needs loglik=. I would rather not add a gate that behaves differently from every other registered LAN model. @AlexanderFengler, is the convention to merge the registration once the network is uploaded, or to gate?
Correct as described: ddm_normal_st.onnx is not yet in franklab/HSSM, and the bare-name lookup is pinned to that repository, so until it is uploaded the model constructs only with an explicit loglik=. The docstring and the PR body both say so. Both networks are public at hf.co/Eitanm/ddm-st-lans for anyone who wants to test now. Uploading to franklab/HSSM is a maintainer action, so the registration and the upload are meant to land together at merge rather than the registration being deferred. The simulator side is the same: ssm-simulators learns ddm_normal_st in lnccbrown/ssm-simulators#361, which this PR depends on for simulate_data.
Add ddm_normal_st to the supported-model description.
SupportedModels now includes ddm_normal_st, but this description omits it and says other strings are treated as custom. A user reading the HSSM API documentation could conclude that the model requires a full custom configuration. Update the list or refer readers to the maintained supported-model list.

Requesting changes as a hold: the registration itself is fine, but it cannot merge until the network is on franklab/HSSM, and the branch needs a rebase first. Thanks for the table row and for the ssm-simulators config, which is released now.
What has landed since this PR was opened:
#1292 is merged (merge commit 32b7e23), reworked so that a likelihood config declares where its support starts: "ndt_edge_shift": {"param": "<name>", "scale": s}. That replaces #1344's ndt_edge_width, so #1344 is superseded and closed rather than merged; the changelog credits you for proposing the configurable edge.
#1293 (your initval clamp) and #1358/#1360 (RLSSM wiring and a training-box guard for the declaration) are merged.
On your question in the thread at ddm_normal_st_config.py:43: upload first, no runtime gate. The network goes to franklab/HSSM, validated, before this merges, with no HSSM release in between. angle_extended, gamma_drift and gamma_drift_angle landed the same way.
The rebase
The branch still carries #1344's commit (63eb81a) and conflicts with main in _types.py, config.py, dist.py, test_config.py and test_distribution_utils.py, all #1344 regions (444a211 is already on main through #1292). Please rebase onto main keeping only 8776852 and 4f7d942, then:
In ddm_normal_st_config.py, replace "ndt_edge_width": 3.0 with "ndt_edge_shift": {"param": "st", "scale": 3.0}. With the old key Config.from_defaults raises TypeError (the likelihood dict is unpacked into Config, which has no such field).
Raise the floor to ssm-simulators>=0.15.0 in pyproject.toml (main is at >=0.14.0). 0.15.0 is the first release that knows ddm_normal_st, so simulate_data and the predictives resolve; it also activates the guard in the next item.
tests/unit/modelconfig/test_lan_bounds_match_training.py::test_declared_support_edge_matches_the_simulator (#1360) compares a LAN's declaration with ssms' for the same model. ssms declares no edge for ddm_normal_st (the kernel is unbounded; the model sits in KDE_NO_DISPLACE_T), so with 0.15.0 installed the test reports ("ddm_normal_st", {"param": "st", "scale": 3.0}, None). The 3-sigma floor is an HSSM policy over a simulator edge that does not exist, so pin it in that test as a reasoned exemption, the way KNOWN_MISMATCHES pins the ddmz bound, rather than loosening the comparison.
Drop the changelog hunk. Entries are written on main after each merge (the ### Unreleased section already has #1292, #1293 and #1358); the hunk also merges textually and would bring ndt_edge_width back.
The docstring: ddm_uniform_st is ddm_st (the ssms name, no alias; #1346 is to register it under that name), and see the network section below for the rest.
#1346 touches the same four spots: the SupportedModels literal in _types.py, the row after ddm_sdv in models-and-likelihoods.md, the two model lists in likelihoods.ipynb, and a test in test_modelconfig.py. Whichever lands second rebases once more.
The red run_tests (3.13) check on this head is the 03 October pyrefly run; #1335 capped pyrefly on main on 05 October, so it clears with the rebase. Tests pass on 3.12/3.13/3.14 and the docs build.
The network
Your gate item 2 says the current network must not ship, and I agree. The route is to retrain ddm_normal_st in-house through the pipeline on ssm-simulators 0.15.0, with your ONNX as the cross-check, and to publish it through the same gates as this year's networks (validation report, model card, lan/ddm_normal_st/ provenance copy on franklab/HSSM). Two things have to be settled before labels are generated:
The KDE choice-proportion convention. LogKDE in 0.15.0 computes choice_proportions on the pre-filter counts (lnccbrown/ssm-simulators#349; documented as intentional, consistent with omissions). For an unbounded kernel the filtered samples are the non-positive RTs, so at the t = st = 0.25 corner, where about 9% of simulated RTs are non-positive, the label overstates the per-trial log-likelihood by about 0.09 nats relative to the retained mass. A network trained on those labels bakes that in. Either the proportions use the retained samples for the KDE_NO_DISPLACE_T models, or the convention stays and the labels are corrected; that may be a small ssms change.
The st -> 0 corner. The density gate draws from bounds shrunk by 10% per side, so it never samples the corner you report as defective. The retrained network gets a parity check against an exact reference down to st of about 1e-3 and a recovery sweep that includes the corner. If a defect remains, ship st's default lower bound at 0.01 rather than asking users to remember it, the same reasoning you used for the default edge.
For the cross-check, please share: the bare .onnx with its sha256 (not the pickled configs; we do not unpickle files from outside the lab), the ssm-simulators commit and which of your branches were applied when the training files were generated, the generator config, the training config and history, the parameter order, and your quadrature script.
The docstring
The docstring and the config comment document the network your gate says must not ship: the st -> 0 corner defect, the "constrain st to (0.01, 0.25)" advice and the recovery numbers. HSSM downloads from franklab/HSSM without a revision pin, so the registry cannot say which network a user has; network-specific notes are fine (ddm_sdv has them) but they have to describe the uploaded network. Keep what is always true: st is an SD here and a half-width in ddm_st, the kernel is unbounded, the bounds are the training box. Add that simulated RTs can be non-positive near the lower t bound (the ssms config measures 8.9% at t = st = 0.25, a = 0.3 and 0.013% on the 3-sigma edge), so PPC users know to filter them.
Nits: plain ddm allows z in (0, 1), not (0.1, 0.9); (0.1, 0.9) is ddm.onnx's training box. The PR title could name the model, since titles become release-note lines.
Open questions
Which network, dataset size and true parameters produced "rhat 3.39 / ESS 4 at t - st vs 1.010 / 697 at t - 3st"?
Is the ddm_normal_st.onnx on hf.co/Eitanm/ddm-st-lans still the KDE-trained one, or have you retrained with exact labels? If the latter, how were the labels made (quadrature, at which ssms commit), and what are the parity and density-gate numbers?
Do you want to do the rebase, or should I re-file it off main with your authorship kept, as with lnccbrown/ssm-simulators#369?
Summary
ddm_normal_st registers as LAN-only with the floor at t - 3 * st. The code is fine. In this PR: rebase onto main without #1344, switch to "ndt_edge_shift": {"param": "st", "scale": 3.0} with the guard exemption, raise the floor to ssm-simulators>=0.15.0, drop the changelog hunk, rewrite the docstring for the network that ships. Outside it: the proportion convention, the retrained and validated network on franklab/HSSM, and a default .sample() smoke fit on the rebased branch before merge. It stays open until the network is up.

ddm_normal_st's simulator side resolves through ssms' model registry,
which carries ddm_normal_st (params and training box) in 0.15.0.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
ddm_normal_st draws the non-decision time as Normal(t, st): st is the
kernel SD and the kernel has no hard edge. Without an `ndt_edge_shift`
declaration the guard from lnccbrown#1292 keeps its floor at t and replaces the
likelihood below t, where this kernel puts nearly half its mass, with
LOGP_LB. Declare {"param": "st", "scale": 3.0}: 3.0 is a practical
~3-sigma edge for the untruncated Normal kernel, chosen by us, not a
property of the model or the simulator. ssm-simulators 0.15.0 declares no
edge for ddm_normal_st.
The tests pin the registry entry and Config.from_defaults, and check the
compiled logp against a flat stand-in likelihood: LOGP_LB at and below
t - 3 * st, untouched above it.

… network as pending retraining
Moves the uniform-vs-Normal st comparison here from lnccbrown#1346, naming the
sibling ddm_st, and states the t - 3 * st floor. The st defect-corner
paragraph describes today's ddm_normal_st.onnx; a note says the network
that ships is pending retraining.

…licy
ssm-simulators 0.15.0 declares no ndt_edge_shift for ddm_normal_st, since
its Normal(t, st) kernel is unbounded, so the support-edge guard reports
("ddm_normal_st", {"param": "st", "scale": 3.0}, None). The floor is an
HSSM policy over a simulator edge that does not exist. Pin the row in
KNOWN_EDGE_POLICIES, the way KNOWN_MISMATCHES pins the ddm z bound: a new
mismatch fails, and so does an exempted row that stops mismatching. The
comparison itself is unchanged.

…ny network
HSSM downloads ddm_normal_st.onnx from franklab/HSSM without a revision
pin, so the registry cannot say which network a user has. Drop the
st -> 0 corner defect, the advice to constrain st to (0.01, 0.25), the
recovery numbers and the pending-retraining note, all of which describe
one network. Keep the SD-vs-half-width comparison with ddm_st, the
unbounded kernel and the training-box bounds, and add that simulated RTs
can be non-positive near the lower t bound (8.9% at t = st = 0.25,
a = 0.3 and 0.013% on the 3-sigma edge, as measured in the ssm-simulators
0.15.0 config), so posterior-predictive users filter them.

Edge test: ddm_normal_st is pinned as a reasoned exemption, like KNOWN_MISMATCHES, not by loosening the comparison.
Docstring now describes only what's always true: st is an SD here and a half-width in ddm_st, the kernel is unbounded, the bounds are the training box. It adds the non-positive-RT note for PPC users. The st -> 0 defect, the (0.01, 0.25) advice and the recovery numbers are gone.

Your questions:
rhat 3.39 / ESS 4 vs 1.010 / 697: the KDE-trained ddm_normalt network from August (the one still on my mirror), 12 subjects × 300 trials, v ~ N(1.0, 0.3), st = 0.13, our standard fit recipe. It's the guard ladder in HANDOFF_2026-08-29 §2: floor at t 4.10/4; at t - st 3.39/4; at t - 3st 1.010/697; t + 3st collapses st to 0.003.
No floor at all (from #1344): yes, same run. Skipping the guard gave 1.010 / ESS 606 / 0% divergences, the same st estimate (0.1189) as t - 3st, and 0 trials floored under either. I kept 3σ because skipping only stays finite with p_outlier > 0; the 3σ floor keeps the guard as a safety net that never touches this data. No case for allowing inf from these numbers.
Mirror's ddm_normal_st.onnx: still the KDE-trained August network, not exact-label. It's now marked superseded on the mirror, kept only for reproducibility.
Rebase: done (93479bcb + the commits above).

@EItanm1999 same thing here, just make sure that configs align with the training bounds on the uploaded network, take as evidence that the network is doing it's job correctly, the training loss as well as the parameter recovery study.
At this point both ddm_st and full_ddm were both trained on the full production size right?
Requesting @cpaniaguam and @digicosmos86 as reviewers. Eitan has addressed the review and CI is green; the remaining merge gate is the network upload to franklab/HSSM, which is on me.
Two conflicts. pyproject.toml: take main's ssm-simulators>=0.16.0, which this
branch needs for the 0.35 st box. tests/test_modelconfig.py: main added the
softmax_inv_temperature_4 test where this branch adds the ddm_normal_st tests;
both are kept.

…ining box
ssm-simulators 0.16.0 (lnccbrown#390) widened ddm_normal_st's st to 0.35, the box the
network was trained on, so HSSM's bound and its test follow. The docstring's
non-positive-RT figure moves to the new box corner (16.4% at t 0.25, st 0.35,
a 0.3), the number the ssm-simulators config gives.

Updated for ssm-simulators 0.16.0, which carries #390 (the st box widened to 0.35):
Merged main (a0f7e62c). Conflicts in pyproject.toml (took main's ssm-simulators>=0.16.0) and tests/test_modelconfig.py (main's softmax_inv_temperature_4 test beside this branch's; both kept).
st bound (1e-3, 0.35) in ddm_normal_st_config.py and its test. The docstring's non-positive-RT figure moves to the new box corner: 16.4% at t 0.25, st 0.35, a 0.3, the number the ssm-simulators config gives.
Full suite locally (uv run pytest tests/ -m "not slow", ssm-simulators 0.16.0): 1574 passed, 1 skipped, 1 xfailed, 0 failed. prek clean.
Default .sample() smoke fit on this head, no initvals, with the staged network (loglik=<local path>, sha256 f110c0a7…): one subject, 1,000 trials simulated from ddm_normal_st at v 1.0, a 1.5, z 0.5, t 0.5, st 0.2 (an SD). Converges with r-hat 1.00, bulk ESS 1,171 to 1,593, no divergences, 6 min on 4 CPU cores:

On this one dataset t and st come out high together, with st's interval just reaching the truth. One dataset cannot separate a bias from chance; the network's recovery sweep and the exact-likelihood comparison are on its card.
When #1346 merges, this branch takes the shared lines (SupportedModels, the model table, likelihoods.ipynb, test_modelconfig.py); all four conflicts resolve by keeping both models. Remaining gate: ddm_normal_st.onnx at the root of franklab/HSSM (#1394).

Merge depends on publication of a retrained exact-label ONNX likelihood that requires maintainer verification, since the mocked tests do not establish the network’s numerical accuracy or end-to-end inference correctness.

Register ddm_normal_st as a supported model
Adds the registry entry for the DDM with Normal trial-to-trial
variability in non-decision time (t_trial ~ Normal(t, st); st is the
kernel SD, support unbounded). approx_differentiable only, LAN via
ddm_normal_st.onnx; bounds are the network's training box.
The entry ships ndt_edge_width = 3.0 as its DEFAULT: the Normal kernel
is unbounded, so the admissibility floor belongs at the practical
3-sigma edge t - 3st (measured: floor at t - st -> rhat 3.39 / ESS 4;
at t - 3st -> rhat 1.010 / ESS 697, 0% divergences). With this key in
the registry, switching kernels is just the model string - ddm_uniform_st gets
its exact t - st floor, ddm_normal_st gets t - 3*st, and neither requires
the user to remember anything. Stacked on feat/ndt-edge-width-config,
which plumbs the field.
GATED - do not merge before:

publishing it would bake that defect into the ecosystem.
choices, and that st means a uniform half-width in ddm_uniform_st but a Normal SD in
