Hierarchical Modelling in Stan: Predicting the Premier League

Welcome to the official Stan youtube channel! Stan is a state-of-the-art probabilistic programming language. Here we will be releasing new videos regularly covering everything from how to use Stan to bayesian statistics.



In this video, we will see how to implement a hierarchical model in Stan applied to the outcomes of the premiere league 19/20 season football matches. The hierarchical method will be compared to non-hierarchical methods to highlight the benefits in using this approach.
