Stan probabilistic programming for Bayesian inference

Instructions available. Your AI can read the instructions. Execution depends on the setup they require.

Add ahel to your AI once: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or Codex. Then ask it to use this.

Then ask your AI: use the Stan Bayesian Modeling skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by a5c-ai/babysitter in library/specializations/domains/science/mathematics/skills/stan-bayesian-modeling/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Purpose

Provides Stan probabilistic programming capabilities for Bayesian inference and statistical modeling.

Capabilities

  • Stan model specification
  • MCMC sampling (NUTS, HMC)
  • Variational inference
  • Prior predictive checks
  • Posterior predictive checks
  • Model comparison (LOO-CV, WAIC)

Usage Guidelines

  1. Model Specification: Write Stan code with clear blocks
  2. Prior Selection: Choose appropriate, weakly informative priors
  3. Diagnostics: Check Rhat, ESS, and divergences
  4. Model Comparison: Use LOO-CV for model selection

Tools/Libraries

  • Stan
  • CmdStan
  • RStan
