R package using cmdstanr

[jonah]

I also recommend checking out @wlandau’s new R package that helps you make a package with cmdstanr that has precompiled models:

{instantiate}: pre-compiled CmdStan models in R packages

The rstantools package has served the community beautifully, allowing us to pre-compile Stan models in R packages much like rstanarm. Aside from the obvious efficiency gains, especially in simulation studies, pre-compiling saves us the trouble of diagnosing compiler errors near runtime. However, the version of Stan in CmdStan is far more advanced, and many of us R package developers are keen to work it into our packages in a seamless way. To meet the need, I created a package called instantiate.…

It’s basically like rstantools but for cmdstanr.
