Documentation for the Stan language and CmdStan
#### Summary: Clean up as recommended by @betanalpha in the comments to #557. #### Current Version: v2.18.0
The Stan reference manual's section on [ARMA](https://mc-stan.org/docs/stan-users-guide/autoregressive.html) models could be improved by showing how to initialize an autoregression using the stationary distribution. Assuming the first few draws are drawn from...
#### Summary: Create a style guide for the documentation on probability and statistics following BDA3 and update the docs to match. #### Current Version: v2.18.0
#### Summary: The Stan User's Guide section on thinning samples - should it provide more guidance? In particular, mention anti-correlated draws? https://mc-stan.org/docs/reference-manual/effective-sample-size.html#thinning-samples #### Current Version: v2.29.2
#### Summary: The function eigenvectors_sym returns the factorisation QDQ’ for a real symmetric matrix. The documentation describes it as a generic eigendecomposition without specifying that the eigenvectors are orthogonal. This...
In section 9.5, the full Bayes for the correlated topic model uses a mvnormal variate transformed by a `softmax` as probabilities. The problem is that the inverse softmax doesn't work...
#### Summary: It would be good to add to CmdStan user guide a section about how to set different compiler options. Currently the user guide has only the example CXXFLAGS...
I don't know if many people ever visit the wiki on the Stan github repo. The prior choice recommendations is https://github.com/stan-dev/stan/wiki/Prior-Choice-Recommendations. @andrewgelman do you have any thoughts on adding this...
SUG on multi-logit regression https://mc-stan.org/docs/2_29/stan-users-guide/multi-logit.html suggests that the user has to loop row-wise since there's not a vectorized categorical logit. This is out-of-date. See https://mc-stan.org/docs/2_29/functions-reference/categorical-distribution.html and https://mc-stan.org/docs/2_29/functions-reference/categorical-logit-glm.html
#### Summary: @Ullrika pointed out that "32.2 Example decision analysis" https://mc-stan.org/docs/2_29/stan-users-guide/example-decision-analysis.html has an error in the code. The utility function is defined with arguments `c` and `t` ``` real U(real...
