Description

Summary:

We want to follow Andrew's terminology and not confuse a sample (1 or more draws) with a draw.

Description:
  • fix in output [may need to go to interfaces for this]
  • fix in argument names (wait for Stan 3)
  • fix in manual
Reproducible Steps:

Just run CmdStan.

Current Output:

From CmdStan:

#    num_samples = 1000 (Default)`

From RStan:

Samples were drawn using NUTS(diag_e) at Mon Mar 14 13:19:38 2016.
Expected Output:

CmdStan: num_draws = 1000
RStan: Sample was drawn using NUTS.

Current Version:

v2.9.0
