Hi Paul, no worries. I agree this implementation is convoluted, and if you have a vision for how to simplify that's great! The implementation over on the feature request already...

Thanks @sahrk! Happy to run tests on M1 for you if that's helpful, though I'd need relatively complete and explicit instructions for how to run them. Love DGGRID!

Sorry this took me so long! I'm pretty sure I've managed to do the right steps. In case it matters DGGRID did not find GDAL on my system. The two...

Do you intend to support mixtures of distributions with different support (e.g. a mixture of a normal and a lognormal)?

I mean would catching exceptions in this way allow people to end up passing integers to _lpdfs or reals to _lpmfs without seeing an exception raised?

I suggest refraining from deletion of the current material unless/until the `hmm*` functions can handle non-stationary transition probabilities.

`brms:::read_csv_as_stanfit` takes a `cmdstan` csv and reads it into R as a `stanfit` object.

I'm seeing the same, but only on one of my machines (an M1 mac; I also have an intel mac that runs everything just fine). I don't know if the...
