A place for publishing new versions of (some) stan-dev R packages before they reach CRAN and for stan-dev R packages and versions where releasing on CRAN is not a (current) goal. As of 2021-03-16 this is most relevant for rstan, where the CRAN version is unfortunately several releases behind and pushing a new version to CRAN has been difficult.
The packages currently hosted in this repository are:
- cmdstanr
- rstan
- StanHeaders (required for rstan)
- rstanarm (Survival branch - https://arxiv.org/pdf/2002.09633.pdf)
