Course Syllabus

Monday night Stan installation session!

You’re free to proceed in this course using any modelling software you like. We will be using Stan, so if you want to follow along you’ll need to have it installed also! To do so, follow the steps in this vignette. Make sure you can run the example (up to “Running MCMC”)

Please note that if you want help installing it, Andrew and Guillaume will be available on Monday evening. From Tuesday onwards we won’t have time to pause to fix installation issues!
