My friend Juuso Parkkinen has interesting Stan related blog, which is worth following. The above cool animation is from today’s post discussing the updated results of using Stan to model apartment prices in Finland. Few weeks ago Juuso also blogged about a probabilistic programming seminar in Finland with a title Stan – The Bayesian Data Scientist’s Best Friend.
Cool maybe, but I’m somewhat stumped as to what it’s showing.
The raw data is the available information on apartment prices in the region, which varies over time. The model imputes data for regions where we don’t observe anything.
