Contributing Stan code translations of McElreath's Statistical Rethinking examples

Project Proposals
1

McElreath’s Statistical Rethinking provides a function to see the Stan code behind his convenience functions (rethinking::stancode()), but he doesn’t focus on how to work directly with stanfit objects.

As an exercise, I have translated the examples from his book directly into Stan code, and extracted the information from stanfit objects using R and tidyverse/ggplot2 to recreate McElreath’s graphics too.

The code is organized in R Markdown files by chapter. I’d be happy to contribute.

I would love to link to this from my book homepage. Lots of added value.

ssp3nc3r–I have found the your stan code for Statistical Rethinking extremely valuable. However there is a new version out. Do you know of any place were stan code for the new edition can be found?

Thanks!
