fit_model_approximate(args, future = FALSE, id = "stan")

Arguments

• args: List of stan arguments.
• future: Logical, defaults to FALSE. Should future be used to run stan chains in parallel.
• id: A character string used to assign logging information on error. Used by regional_epinow() to assign errors to regions. Alter the default to run with error catching.
