* Package name : r-cran-rstan Version : 2.17.3 Upstream Author : Jiqiang Guo, Jonah Gabry, Ben Goodrich, Daniel Lee, * URL : https://cran.r-project.org/package=rstan * License : GPL-3+ Programming Lang: GNU R Description : GNU R interface to Stan User-facing R functions are provided to parse, compile, test, estimate, and analyze Stan models by accessing the header-only Stan library provided by the 'StanHeaders' package. The Stan project develops a probabilistic programming language that implements full Bayesian statistical inference via Markov Chain Monte Carlo, rough Bayesian inference via 'variational' approximation, and (optionally penalized) maximum likelihood estimation via optimization. In all three cases, automatic differentiation is used to quickly and accurately evaluate gradients without burdening the user with the need to derive the partial derivatives. Remark: This package is maintained by Debian R Packages Maintainers at https://salsa.debian.org/r-pkg-team/r-cran-rstan This package belongs to a set of dependencies for r-cran-brms which is needed to upgrade r-cran-emmeans to the latest upstream version.
