Joseph, M., Exact sparse CAR models in Stan 2016, Stan Case Studies. Available: Exact sparse CAR models in Stan

There was a thread on providing DOIs for all talks and case studies, which could make life a little easier but AFAIK only talks have DOIs so far.

How to cite case studies + DOIs?

Should we try to figure out how to assign DOIs to case studies? That’d push us one step closer to being a journal.

DOIs for StanCon contributed talks

Hey @AllanClark - if you’re still looking to cite this, the GitHub repo for this case study has a DOI through Zenodo: https://zenodo.org/record/210407#.W5FwdBhMGV4

You could cite this as:

Max Joseph. (2016, December 19). mbjoseph/CARstan: First release (Version v1.0.0). Zenodo. http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.210407
