Description

We need three layers of tests -- checking for successful compilation, checking that the models run for a few iterations without erring, and then checking for validity of the Markov chain output.

  • Add separate compilation tests.
  • Add separate running tests.
  • Cherry pick BUGS examples that can be verified to work robustly.
  • Use cherry picked BUGS examples for Markov chain validity tests.
  • Consider ditching BUGS examples for validity tests and replacing them with https://github.com/stan-dev/stan/tree/feature/stat_valid_test
