Stan

Stan is a state-of-the-art platform for statistical modelling and high-performance statistical computation.

Here you will find tutorials on building statistical models and bayesian inference using Stan. Our goal is to help you familiarise yourself with the capabilities of the Stan language and how they can be applied to your own problems.

New videos uploaded regularly! Subscribe to never miss a tutorial!
