17.2 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.

17.2.1 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 \(y \in \mathbb{R}^n\), \[ \text{NormalIdGLM}(y|x, \alpha, \beta, \sigma) = \prod_{1\leq i \leq n}\text{Normal}(y_i|\alpha_i + x_i\cdot \beta, \sigma). \]
