New Features

  • Turn off normalization in the Stan model via argument normalize.
    to increase sampling efficiency thanks to Andrew Johnson. (#1017, #1053)
  • Enable posterior_predict for truncated continuous models
    even if the required CDF or quantile functions are unavailable.
  • Update and export validate_prior to validate priors supplied by the user.
  • Add support for within-chain threading with rstan (Stan >= 2.25) backend.
  • Apply the R2-D2 shrinkage prior to population-level coefficients
    via function R2D2 to be used in set_prior.
  • Extend support for arma correlation structures in non-normal families.
  • Extend scope of variables passed via data2 for use in the
    evaluation of most model terms.

Other Changes

  • Improve numerical stability of ordinal sequential models
    (families sratio and cratio) thanks to Andrew Johnson. (#1087)

Bug Fixes

  • Allow fitting multinomial models with the
    cmdstanr backend thanks to Andrew Johnson. (#1033)
  • Allow user-defined Stan functions in threaded models. (#1034)
  • Allow usage of the : operator in autocorrelation terms.
  • Fix Stan code generation when specifying coefficient-level
    priors on spline terms.
  • Fix numerical issues occurring in edge cases during
    post-processing of Gaussian processes thanks to Marta Kołczyńska.
  • Fix an error during post-processing of new levels in
    multi-membership terms thanks to Guilherme Mohor.
  • Fix a bug in the Stan code of threaded wiener drift diffusion
    models thanks to the GitHub user yanivabir. (#1085)
  • Fix a bug in the threaded Stan code for GPs with categorical
    by variables thanks to Reece Willoughby. (#1081)
  • Fix a bug in the threaded Stan code when using QR decomposition
    thanks to Steve Bronder. (#1086)
