Description

Stan includes a variety of examples and most of the BUGS example models that are translated into Stan modeling language. One example is chosen from a list created from matching user input and gets fitted in the demonstration.

Usage

stan_demo(model = character(0), 
            method = c("sampling", "optimizing", "meanfield", "fullrank"), ...)

Arguments

model

A character string for model name to specify which model will be used for demonstration. The default is an empty string, which prompts the user to select one the available models. If model = 0, a character vector of all models is
