command.hpp refactor and bbvb

[Alp Kucukelbir]

hi folks,

dustin and i are eager to continue working on 

even more experimental extensions of advi, 

some of which we may or may not want to 

include into Stan proper. 

as such, it would be really convenient for us

to merge feature/bbvb into develop and then

create smaller, self-contained branches off of

develop for each of the new things we want to try.

dustin and i just looked at the command.hpp move

to cmdStan. we can update that branch with 

the additional lines required for advi. (it's self

contained; a trivial modification.)

how should we proceed with this? could we 

merge feature/bbvb before the command.hpp move

or is that a bad idea?

cheers

This doesn't answer your question, but you can always
branch directly from the advi branch for now.

Is there any current holdup on merging feature/bbvb to develop? I’m working on some extensions using local commits for now, which is fine with me. If it’s merged earlier than the command.hpp move, then I can make the required modifications to those two pull requests (both for cmdstan and stan).

I just asked Daniel and I think we're ready to go for 2.7
with feature/bbvb. As a rule, we only merge a branch into
develop if we think it's ready for release.

Thanks for all the hard work on this! I read the paper
and I'm totally psyched to see it work.

Was there a decision about enabling it in RStan / PyStan or is it still considered so experimental that it should only be used from CmdStan?

I think we should enable it whenever you guys get the
chance. But it doesn't need to be done for 2.7.0. Alp
already wrote it so it ran in CmdStan, so that was done
along with the basic functionality, I think.
