The Stan Development Team is the collective author credited for Stan's statistical modeling manuals. The Stan Reference Manual by Stan Development Team documents the language and inference methods; the Stan User's Guide by Stan Development Team develops model construction and applied examples.
Its treatment of posterior analysis explains diagnostics such as effective sample size and split R-hat for Markov chain Monte Carlo. These assess features of finite sampled output and do not turn a finite run into a proof of exact convergence.[ref]
