I noticed that when I set save_pars = save_pars(all=TRUE) there is a parameter called b_Intercept and one called Intercept in my model. Intercept does not show up in the summary, but in the $fit. When not all parameters are saved, there is only b_Intercept. What does Intercept mean? It has a diff…

Hi Britta, If you look at the underlying Stan code for the model using: make_stancode(data = data, formula = x ~ y, seed = 1, save_pars = save_pars(all=TRUE)) You’ll see the respective definitions: parameters { vector[Kc] b; // population-level effects real Intercept; // tempor…

What is the difference between Intercept and b_Intercept?
