| -#' @description An appendage to the \pkg{rstan} package that enables some of the |
37 |
| -#' most common applied regression models to be estimated using Markov Chain |
38 |
| -#' Monte Carlo, variational approximations to the posterior distribution, or |
39 |
| -#' optimization. The \pkg{rstanarm} package allows these models to be |
40 |
| -#' specified using the customary R modeling syntax (e.g., like that of |
41 |
| -#' \code{\link[stats]{glm}} with a \code{formula} and a \code{data.frame}). |
42 |
| -#' |
43 |
| -#' The set of models supported by \pkg{rstanarm} is large (and will continue |
44 |
| -#' to grow), but also limited enough so that it is possible to integrate them |
45 |
| -#' tightly with the \code{\link{pp_check}} function for graphical posterior |
46 |
| -#' predictive checks and the \code{\link{posterior_predict}} function to |
47 |
| -#' easily estimate the effect of specific manipulations of predictor variables |
48 |
| -#' or to predict the outcome in a training set. |

| -#' The objects returned by the \pkg{rstanarm} modeling functions are called |
51 |
| -#' \code{\link[=stanreg-objects]{stanreg}} objects. In addition to all of the |
52 |
| -#' typical \code{\link[=stanreg-methods]{methods}} defined for fitted model |
53 |
| -#' objects, stanreg objects can be passed to the \code{\link[loo]{loo}} |
54 |
| -#' function in the \pkg{loo} package for model comparison or to the |
55 |
| -#' \code{\link[shinystan]{launch_shinystan}} function in the \pkg{shinystan} |
56 |
