Welcome to the documentation for Stan Playground
To get familiar with the layout of the Stan Playground interface and the features it offers, see SP: Feature Overview
Stan Playground offers a built-in sharing feature which integrates with Github Gists. This feature provides an easy way to share your work with collaborators, students, forum users, and many other audiences.
Additionally, you can also prepare links which will pre-populate each portion of Stan Playground when clicked. For more information, see SP: URL Parameters.
Stan Playground provides a separate route and script for placing a compact version of the SP interface in your own website, blog, or online tutorial.
Check out the how-to and examples at SP: Embedded.
While the Stan models execute in the browser (on your local machine), the compilation process requires a dedicated server. Most users will prefer to use the public server for compilation. However, if you want to set up your own compilation server, use the following instructions: SP: Compilation server setup
