Description
We should have a description of the minimum required functionality that a Stan interface must implement.
This may include
- compiling a Stan model from a file
- sampling of the model
- optimization of the model
- repeatability of results given a fixed seed
- data I/O
- exporting generated samples
Additional:
-
what visualizations are available
-
posterior analysis (this should be further broken down)
-
R-hat
-
n_eff
-
extractions
-
samples +/- warmup +/- scrambling +/- structured extraction
-
operations allowed with Stan model
-
log prob +/- constrained
-
gradients
-
higher order derivatives
-
variable name access
-
variable dimensions access
-
transforms to and from constrained form
