RStudio Viewer with rstan running in parrallel with RStudio 1.3

Interfaces RStan
13

Oh, I see what happened. I’d downloaded the latest Rstudio but I’d neglected to put it in my Applications folder, so my computer was still running the old version.

I now am using Rstudio version 1.3.959, and . . . it still doesn’t work! I guess I’ll wait until 1.3.1054 is in the regular version of Rstudio.

I hope this does not confuse readers of Regression and Other Stories! I don’t think we’re using parallel processing in the book code, but currently when you do library(“rstanarm”), you get this message:

  • For execution on a local, multicore CPU with excess RAM we recommend calling
    options(mc.cores = parallel::detectCores())

Now I wish we’d just recommended R, not Rstudio, in the book!
