stan::math::vari_base Class Reference

Detailed Description

Abstract base class that all vari_value and it's derived classes inherit.

The chain() method applies the chain rule. Concrete extensions of this class will represent base variables or the result of operations such as addition or subtraction. These extended classes will store operand variables and propagate derivative information via an implementation of chain().
