The moderate size thing is the trickiest. Ideally we'd just keep PDFs, but R generates PDFs proportional in size to the number of data points for things like scatter plots...

If you mean the bias of an estimator, that makes sense even with "Bayesian" estimators like the posterior mean: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bias_of_an_estimator - Bob > On Jan 3, 2017, at 4:45 AM,...

This is great! Even better that it runs within a Jupyter notebook. The one stat we should trace is `lp__`, the log density (up to a proportion). The reason is...

That's really great. Thanks for sharing. > On Jan 16, 2020, at 6:40 AM, Evgenii Neumerzhitckii wrote: > > Here is a fuzzy caterpillar concept :) > > https://gitlab.com/evgenyneu/2019_logbook/tree/master/a2020/a01/a15_fuzzy_caterpillar/code >...

Sensitivity analysis with our math library is one standard application of autodiff. And Stan's getting more and more useful for that as we add better solvers and better matrix operations....

Yes, doc for how to enable and use MPI and multi-threading would be great. It'd be really nice to have a simple example C++ application that uses derivatives that can...

Making the math library easy to use standalone was never a priority. Partly because we didn't think we'd have the staff to support the doc and help and partly because...

@wds15 may be able to track this down, as he wrote the threading and sometimes uses Intel compilers. Given their proprietary nature, not to mention what they do to arithmetic...

By the way, this wasn't meant to discourage you from posting issues about Intel compilers. All else being equal, we're happy to support them. And we'd rather hear about issues...
