Dear Friends, I have started to write some codes for RSTAN, I have a general question regarding likelihood function. Below you can see a simple structure of RSTAN model. For most of the codes, in the "model" block, I saw priors (hyperpriors) and likelihood functions. In a few programs, I don't see a likelihood function (such as the model shown below). Has any default function been defined in RSTAN or I am mistaking? I would appreciate your help.
Regards, Peri model.stan <- "data { int<lower=0> i; . . . } parameters { real Mi; real<lower=0> De; real R[i]; } model { for(i in 1:I) { b[i] ~ normal(R[i], C[i]); R[i] ~ normal(Mi, De); } Mi ~ normal(0, 10); De ~ uniform(0,sigma); }" stan(model_code = model.stan, data = data, init = rep(.), chains = ., iter =iter1, . . refresh = 50000 ) [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
