Stan v1.3 manual - typo

[Sean O'Riordain]

I can't see at the moment if it has already been fixed, but on page 56 of the Stan manual v1.3 the word "discimrinativess" on the last line of the page (in Section 11.8) could well be a typo...
 

Kind regards,

Sean O'Riordain

Sean, thanks for letting us know. I'll get it fixed.

Another typo.
Page 135: in the generated quantities block,

alpha <- sd(y) * (alpha_std + beta_std * mean(x) / sd(x)) + mean(y);

should read:

alpha <- sd(y) * (alpha_std - beta_std * mean(x) / sd(x)) + mean(y);

On Page 40 of the manual, we have the following:

transformed data {

real<lower=0> max_cov; real<lower=0> min_cov;

max_cov <- sqrt(var1 * var2);

min_cov <- -max_cov;

}

Can the min_cov have a lower bound of zero, when it is being reassigned to be the negative of max_cov in the last line of the transformed data block?

You're right, the min_cov should have upper=0 if it's the
negative of a sqrt().
