fit_model_with_nuts function

Fit a Stan Model using the NUTs sampler

Fits a stan model using rstan::sampling(). Provides the optional ability to run chains using future with error catching, timeouts and merging of completed chains.

fit_model_with_nuts(
  args,
  future = FALSE,
  max_execution_time = Inf,
  id = "stan"
)

Arguments

• args: List of stan arguments.
• future: Logical, defaults to FALSE. Should future be used to run stan chains in parallel.
• max_execution_time: Numeric, defaults to Inf. What is the maximum execution time per chain in seconds. Results will still be returned as long as at least 2 chains complete successfully within the timelimit.
• 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.

Returns

A stan model object
