16.2 Normal-id generalized linear model (linear regression)

Stan also supplies a single function for a generalized linear lodel with normal likelihood and identity link function, i.e. a function for a linear regression. This provides a more efficient implementation of linear regression than a manually written regression in terms of a normal likelihood and matrix multiplication.

16.2.1 Probability distribution function

If $x\in \mathbb{R}^{n\cdot m}, \alpha \in \mathbb{R}^n, \beta\in \mathbb{R}^m, \sigma\in \mathbb{R}^+$, then for $y \in \mathbb{R}^n$, $$\text{NormalIdGLM}(y|x, \alpha, \beta, \sigma) = \prod_{1\leq i \leq n}\text{Normal}(y_i|\alpha_i + x_i\cdot \beta, \sigma).$$

16.2.2 Sampling statement

y ~ normal_id_glm(x, alpha, beta, sigma)

Increment target log probability density with normal_id_glm_lupdf(y | x, alpha, beta, sigma).
