Registers the built-in cmdstanr executor node kinds: stan_data, cmdstanr_fit, prior_fit, loo, compare, ppc, loo_pit, and sbc. Each executor is a built-in resolved by reference (no source text persisted). The fit executors compute HMC diagnostics themselves and emit hmc_diagnostics summaries with severity rules; no user-written diagnostic code is required.

Usage

bg_use_cmdstanr(project)

Arguments

project

A bg_handle.

Value

Invisibly, the project handle.

Details

Each execution records provenance in its job record (see bg_node_pad()). The fit kinds report the data input they consumed and the sampler settings read back from the fitted object, and declare a P/A/D classification of their parameters (see the pad argument of bg_register_node_kind()). The loo, ppc, and loo_pit kinds report the fit input they evaluated.

The ppc kind's posterior-predictive p-values are conservative checks: an extreme value flags substantial misfit, but an unremarkable value is weak evidence that the model is adequate. Treat the graphical check via bg_plot() as the primary posterior-predictive diagnostic and the p-values as supplementary checks.
