Stan Models on "Bayesian Statistics and Marketing" case studies

[trickster]

There are 5 case studies in the book "Bayesian Statistics and Marketing" by Peter Rossi and Robert McCulloch. However, the accompanied R code uses "bayesm" package and it is difficult to understand and interpret. Stan code for these models will be really helpful.

We're happy to help. The original data and code is here:

I don't have the book itself or the model definition and the first MCMC example is a broken link. Others seem to have real code behind links.

The Rossi and McCulloch book is wonderful. It really would be great to have the models mentioned in the book translated into Stan.

The book is available online with a Columbia password http://www.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/cul/resolve?clio11447850

And presumably at some other institutions too if anyone not at Columbia is interested in helping with this.

I might tackle

CS 5: Demand for Variety

          data

          run model (R)

          MCMC Implementation (R)

if I have some time.

@ariddell Did you end up doing it?

[ariddell]

Nope. Not going to get around to it anytime soon, I fear.
