Apologies, I feel that this is a fairly basic question, however, after searching high and low I can find no answer. There is a similar post here , however, it doesn’t seem to answer my question. This stems from trying to find bayesian point estimates from a poisson regression model where some of th…

Just to add more context, similar discussion has been held at Pystan log-probability confusing! and How exactly is lp__ being calculated which could shed more details on why all this stuff happens :-)

Trying to understand lp__ as it is not producing the results that I expect when modelling count data using poisson distribution

Thanks - this is very helpful and supports my understanding. Would definitely vote for Bob to be king of Stan.
