Enable optimization within .stan programs #1319

Open bgoodri opened 9 years ago

bgoodri commented 9 years ago

This would be similar to integrate_ode but instead of calling

theta <- integrate_ode(sho, ...);

it would be something like

theta <- solve_equations(system, ...); // calls Eigen::HybridNonLinearSolver

and / or

theta <- minimize(loss, ...); // calls LBFGS or something in Boost

We would have to make sure the derivatives due to the implicit function get put in the right place. There is a review paper that discusses such constructs in Bayesian models at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com.ezproxy.cul.columbia.edu/doi/10.1002/9781118771051.ch11/pdf

Is this still a proposed feature? It would be quite useful for some work I am doing.

Ben, I can't access the paper you posted, do you have the author/title info?

It's a chapter called "Approximate Bayesian Inference in Models Defined Through Estimating Equations" from the book Bayesian Inference in the Social Sciences. DOI: 10.1002/9781118771051.ch11
