statistical analysis with Stan

Interfaces and Installation

In order to facilitate inference, Stan provides both a modeling language for specifying complex statistical models and a library of statistical algorithms for computing inferences with those models. These components are exposed through interfaces in environments such as R, Python, and the command line.

To get started with Stan head over to our interfaces page where you will find documentation and installation instructions about each of our interfaces:
