We have more IRT case studies than anything else:

http://mc-stan.org/documentation/case-studies

We could translate Fox’s book examples from WinBUGS to Stan,
but:

  • there’s no license with the distribution

  • they’re in .odc format which OpenOffice can’t decode, so
    I can’t even read the WinBUGS code

Good points! I should have checked the license.
