This package provides R with access to Stan header files. Stan is a probabilistic programming language implementing full Bayesian statistical inference with MCMC sampling and penalized maximum likelihood estimation with optimization.
By placing these headers in this package, we offer a more efficient distribution system for CRAN as replication of this code in the sources of other packages is avoided.
It can be used via the LinkingTo: field in the DESCRIPTION field of an R package --- and the R package infrastructure tools will then know how to set include flags correctly on all architectures supported by R.
