Making Bayes fast since 2011. Also at http://bayes.club/@mcmc_stan.
StanCon 2024 videos are now available!
Recordings of StanCon '24 are now released on @mcmc_stan's youtube channel! youtube.com/playlist?list=… These talks are a wonderful snapshot of the applied and methodological work happening in the Stan, and more broadly, Bayesian community.
Diving into Bayesian models with @mcmc_stan ? Join Columbia Professor, Dr. Scott Spencer, in a detailed Stan series that goes through case studies you can apply to any industry. The full catalog can be downloaded here: athlyticz.com/bayesian

New projpred version (2.9.0) on CRAN discourse.mc-stan.org/t/new-projpred…
BLUE uses Bayesian inference to simultaneously estimate all team ratings while automatically adjusting for opponent strength. It runs on @mcmc_stan and was based on the popular NBA statistic RAPM (shoutout Ahmad Cheema for this plot)
A history of a popular cross-validation package. Very important aspect is that it is born out of desire to have DIAGNOSTICS that are theoretically valid and interpretable and computable. We need a lot more of this, in all parts of scientific workflow,
