run_stan_model: Run a compiled STAN model.

In jrnold/stanmisc: Miscellaneous Stan related functions

Description

This is a simple wrapper for running an already compiled Stan model via the commmand line. It does not handle multiple chains; this could be handled with a loop.

Usage

  run_stan_model(model, data = NULL, init = NULL,
    samples = NULL, stdout = "", stderr = "", ...)

Arguments

model	character The path to the compiled STAN model.
data	list with data or character specifying the file name. If NULL, do not pass any data.
init	list with data; character specifying the file name; If NULL, do not set initial values.
samples	character Path in which to save the samples. The default is a temporary file.
stdout	Passed to system2.
stderr	Passed to system2.
...	Options to be passed to the command line. The arguments names and values of the arguments in ... are converted to command line arguments. E.g. the argument seed=1234 produces the command line option --seed=1234. To specify a boolean option, set the argument to TRUE. E.g. test_grad=TRUE becomes --test_grad.

Value

Invisibly returns a character vector with the name of the output file.
