The modified Bessel function of the first kind is not currently available in Jax, but there is an exponentially-scaled version such that:
ive(v, z) = iv(v, z) * exp(-abs(z.real))
However ive is not available in PyTensor. Implementing it would allow us to have iv from this transformation.
Context for the issue:
The Bessel functions are useful in places like the Hilbert space approximation kernels for GPs. It would be valuable to be able to sample these with the Jax backend for performance reasons.
