Calculate the log-probability and the gradient w.r.t. each input for a given vector of unconstrained parameters — fit-method-grad_log_prob • cmdstanr

The $grad_log_prob() method provides access to the Stan model's log_prob function and its derivative.

grad_log_prob(
  unconstrained_variables,
  jacobian = TRUE,
  jacobian_adjustment = NULL
)

Arguments

unconstrained_variables: (numeric) A vector of unconstrained parameters.
jacobian: (logical) Whether to include the log-density adjustments from un/constraining variables.
jacobian_adjustment: Deprecated. Please use jacobian instead.
