This repository, owned by the user zonination (Zoni Nation), presents a data visualization and analysis project on long-term returns from broad stock market indexes, especially the S&P 500. The author gathers historical price data (adjusted for inflation and dividends) and computes growth trajectories under a “buy and hold” strategy over decades. The key insight illustrated is that over sufficiently long holding periods (e.g. 40 years), the stock market stabilizes and nearly always yields...

RStan is the R interface to Stan, a C++ library for statistical modeling and high-performance statistical computation. It lets users specify models in the Stan modeling language (for Bayesian inference), compile them, and perform inference from R. Key inference approaches include full Bayesian inference via Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (specifically the No-U-Turn Sampler, NUTS), approximate Bayesian inference via variational methods, and optimization (penalized likelihood). RStan integrates with...
