About:
Stanc3 is the official transpiler for the Stan probabilistic programming language. It converts Stan model code into highly optimized C++ for efficient Bayesian inference. This tool is essential for statisticians and data scientists building complex statistical models.
Key Features:
  • Transpiles Stan code to optimized C++
  • Provides detailed error messages and diagnostics
  • Enables advanced model features like functions and blocks
  • Serves as the core compiler for the Stan ecosystem
Use Cases:
  • Compiling Bayesian statistical models for analysis
  • Integrating Stan models with C++ applications
Alternatives:
  • CmdStan – CmdStan is a command-line interface that bundles stanc3; stanc3 is the compiler component itself.
