Package

r-stanheaders

Description

C++ Header Files for Stan. The C++ header files of the Stan project are
provided by this package, but it contains no R code, vignettes, or
function documentation. There is a shared object containing part of the
CVODES library, but it is not accessible from R. StanHeaders is only
useful for developers who want to utilize the LinkingTo directive of
their package's DESCRIPTION file to build on the Stan library without
incurring unnecessary dependencies. The Stan project develops a
probabilistic programming language that implements full or approximate
Bayesian statistical inference via Markov Chain Monte Carlo or
variational methods and implements (optionally penalized) maximum
likelihood estimation via optimization. The Stan library includes an
advanced automatic differentiation scheme, templated statistical and
linear algebra functions that can handle the automatically
differentiable scalar types (and doubles, ints, etc.), and a parser for
the Stan language. The 'rstan' package provides user-facing R functions
to parse, compile, test, estimate, and analyze Stan models.
