CUNY CSI MTH594 Bayesian Data Analysis

Halloween Candy Count M&Ms

we are task to make a Multinomial model for categorical data, in particular the different color M&Ms.

```{stan, output.var="model"}
data {
  int<lower=1> N; // observations
  int<lower=1> K; // categories
  
  int<lower=0> y[N,K];  // observations
}…

My First Look at RStan for Bayesian Data Analysis

Computation: 2.11.13 in RStan

To give us another close look at modeling and computing using RStan, here’s exercise 2.11.13.

We start out with a table of fatal airplane accidents and deaths per year over a 10-year period. The death rate is number of passenger deaths per 1e8…

A first look at computation

We will be digging far deeper into this as the semester goes on, but having already seen a first Bayesian…
