Following on from Dan’s post on Barry Gibb statistical model evaluation, here’s an example inspired by a paper I found on Google Scholar searching for Stan citations. The paper (which there is no point in citing) concluded that JAGS was faster than […]

For those of you not familiar with ShinyStan, it is a graphical user interface for exploring Stan models (and more generally MCMC output from any software). For context, here’s the post on this blog first introducing ShinyStan (formerly shinyStan) from earlier this year. ShinyStan v2.0.0 released ShinyStan v2.0.0 is now available on CRAN. This is […]
