Description

I need a place to keep track of potential additions to the User's Guide. We can just tick them off or delete as they're finished.

  • user-defined constrained parameter chapter
  • Markov random fields chapter including phi^4 example, and maybe conditional random fields
  • ICAR and BYM2 models and discussion of penalized complexity
  • structural equation models
  • scientific ODE examples like Lotka-Volterra and SIR
  • rating, ranking, and diagnostic testing (sensitivity/specificity, IRT, Bradley-Terry, Plackett-Luce)
  • R2D2 and horseshoe priors
  • imputing contingency matrices
  • bandit problems and Thompson sampling
  • vector autoregressive models in the time-series chapter
  • simple neural network examples (e.g., MNIST digits MLP plus maybe convolution)
  • n-gram language models and naive Bayes classifiers
  • ANOVA

Research direction

This issue is a tracking list for potential User's Guide additions; it names no file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the User's Guide source in the documentation repository, then select and scope one unchecked topic with the maintainers.
