+and analyze Stan models by accessing the header-only Stan library provided by
+the StanHeaders package.  The Stan project develops a probabilistic
+programming language that implements full Bayesian statistical inference via
+Markov Chain Monte Carlo, rough Bayesian inference via 'variational'
+approximation, and (optionally penalized) maximum likelihood estimation via
+optimization.  In all three cases, automatic differentiation is used to
+quickly and accurately evaluate gradients without burdening the user with the
+need to derive the partial derivatives.")
