RStan / Rstan / rstan ?

[Sean O'Riordain]

For the sake of consistency, I'd like to reference RStan - but how should it be capitalized? On the page http://mc-stan.org/rstan.html there are two spellings visible RStan and Rstan, and the actual package name is rstan.

How would you like it to be referenced?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Sean,

"Rstan" is a typo on the webpage.

Citation instructions are here: 
http://mc-stan.org/citations.html

I've been referring to the interface as RStan and the R package as rstan. So, I guess it's context dependent for how I use it. 

Thanks for asking. If Bob responds, I'd take his answer over mine.

Daniel

I agree with Daniel, just to make that clear.

For the C++ version, it's "Stan" for the name of the project
and "stan" for the C++ namespace defined within that project.
This is pretty typical in C++. For example, "Boost" is the name
of the big C++ library project on which we depend, but "boost" is the
namespace used within that project.

I think it’s rSTAN, right, Bob?

No, I believe it is properly "ARRRGGGHHHstan"

At least on September 19.
