Thank you so much for this quick and efficient summary! I've been taking small informations from different sources, but you're the first one that explain all the aspect of Stan in on place and in details.

Thanks again!

You're welcome, glad it helped!

Hi Dan,
This is a really excellent post and it's really helpful. This is a great balance between the technical aspects and theory.

One part I find a bit confusing is that the BH model fits look quite different between the BH only model and the BH/Ricker models.

Thank you!

Thank you for this post -- it's hard to find resources where the complexities of Stan are translated to lay terms. Very nicely done!

This is simply amazing, thank you. Currently writing my Master's Thesis in Bayesian Modelling using Stan, and this has helped immensely (p.s. great job on the astronaut analogy).

Good to here it's been been helpful!
