StanCon 2018

Three days of talks, open discussions, and statistical modeling. Stan is freedom-respecting, open-source software for facilitating statistical inference at the frontiers of applied statistics. Stan provides both a modeling language for specifying complex statistical models and a library of statistical algorithms for computing inferences with those models. These components are exposed through interfaces in environments such as R, Python, and the command line. Stan is now linked to NumFOCUS, a U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that serves several other open-source software projects, including NumPy, Julia, Jupyter, and others.
