Source files for the book "Bayesian Workflow Using Stan"
(Note: moved from stan-dev/bayes-workflow-book
)
This is the repository for the book Bayesian Workflow Using Stan (working title). The book will have many authors.
The book is in its early stages of development so the content on the master branch will change substantially.

In RStudio: to build the project, open index.Rmd
in RStudio and click knit
- change output on first line of index.Rmd
for gitbook
and pdf_book
(not differeing _
)
First, you will need to install pandoc
and pandoc-citeproc
in
addition to the bookdown
package in R. After that, it can be built
from within R in this directory using bookdown::render_book('index.Rmd')
or from the shell using ./build.sh
to build both PDF and HTML
versions.
All lines should be 80 or fewer characters unless absolutely mandated by content
y ~ normal(mu, sigma) # Not: N(), not sigma^2, roman font for "normal", LaTeX math for $y$, $\mu$, $\sigma$
normal(y | mu, sigma) # Vertical bar, not semicolon
Poisson, Weibull, LKJ # Use capital letters for distributions that are named after people
E(y) # Roman font for E, LaTeX math for $y$, parentheses not brackets
() # Always parentheses, never brackets
No special fonts for distributions, just roman and math fonts
p(y) # Probability density and probability mass function
Pr(A) # probability of an event

All Stan code should be best practice except when explaining something, in which case we should explicitly show the best-practice alternative
