Abstract: Abstract Hereafter we will call parameters that have discrete integer values as discrete parameters. The fact that Stan cannot sample from discrete parameters is a major limitation of Stan. In this section, we will provide several solutions for this problem. The basic approach is to eliminate discrete parameters from the log-likelihood by counting all the possible cases (i.e., marginalizing out the parameters).
