Stan for epidemiology

Stan for epidemiology

The Stan epidemiology page is meant to serve as a centralized location for all types of work in epidemiology that use the software Stan for Bayesian inference. Anyone can contribute helpful resources, papers, posters or anything else epidemiology-related that makes use of Stan, regardless of the level, through the Stan epidemiology GitHub page.

To ask Stan-related questions, please go to the Stan forum. More specifically, you can use the epidemiology or covid-19 tags to ensure that posts are seen by anyone interested in epidemiology problems as well.
