Stan: A Probabilistic Programming Language for Bayesian Inference and Optimization

Stan is a free and open-source C++ program that performs Bayesian inference or optimization for arbitrary user-specified models and can be called from the command line, R, Python, Matlab, or Julia and has great promise for fitting large and complex statistical models in many areas of application. We...

Popis
Shrnutí:Stan is a free and open-source C++ program that performs Bayesian inference or optimization for arbitrary user-specified models and can be called from the command line, R, Python, Matlab, or Julia and has great promise for fitting large and complex statistical models in many areas of application. We discuss Stan from users 'and developers' perspectives and illustrate with a simple but nontrivial nonlinear regression example.
