Stan for Ecology

Welcome to the Stan Ecology Page

Welcome! The Stan ecology page is meant to serve as a centralized location for all types of work in ecology that use the software Stan for Bayesian inference. As a community, we can share our work with each other and learn from each other as well! Anyone can contribute helpful resources, papers, posters or anything else ecology-related that makes use of Stan, regardless of the level, through the Stan ecology GitHub page.

To ask Stan-related questions, please go to https://discourse.mc-stan.org/. More specifically, we can all use the Ecology tag to ensure that posts are seen by anyone interested in general ecological problems as well. See https://discourse.mc-stan.org/tag/ecology.

To join the Stan Slack channel, go to Stan Slack.
