@SGB At today’s general meeting (April 2, 2020) Andrew brought up the reputation of Stan as not being fast in comparison to various competing implementations. It was noted that this is often due to badly written models. I’ll start with my contribution but will list what I recall from others as well…

There’s an experimental tool that’s used for benchmarks around Turing and Cmdstan that Rob developed a while ago. Here’s the link: [image] StatisticalRethinkingJulia/MCMCBenchmarks.jl Comparing performance and results of mcmc options using Julia
