Description

Summary:

The Stan User's Guide should provide examples of using the vectorized glm functions whenever possible, and the Functions Reference Manual should make it easier to find them - perhaps a 2nd appendix listing vectorized glms.

Description:

cf this discussion on Discourse - this is how a user sees the problem: https://discourse.mc-stan.org/t/how-to-get-nicely-named-parameters-in-stan/29369

Current Version:

v2.30.0

Research direction

Start by locating the Stan User's Guide sections covering GLM examples and the Functions Reference Manual appendices, then review the linked Discourse discussion for the user's discoverability problem. Done means the relevant vectorized GLM functions have examples in the guide and the reference manual provides a clear way to find them.
