I had thought this was more like fix for the previous algorithm, but I also now realize the design document is not mentioning diagnostics. Laplace algorithm itself is not novel...

Can this issue be closed as #762 has been merged?

Linking to Stan PR https://github.com/stan-dev/stan/pull/3266, but I think this is not yet available in CmdStan based on this issue https://github.com/stan-dev/cmdstan/issues/1263 EDIT: added CmdStan issue, too

Adding that clarification could be made at least in the two following places - colon : as in indexing could be mentioned in the Operator Precedence Table https://mc-stan.org/docs/reference-manual/arithmetic-expressions.html - index...

Maybe also add comment to the Finite Mixtures chapter https://mc-stan.org/docs/stan-users-guide/finite-mixtures.html not to mix `_lpdf` and `_lupdf`?

@bob-carpenter were you going to do something more for this?

@andrjohns do you still see the same mismatch between signatures and doc?
