Abstract

Stata 16 expanded the Bayesian suite of commands with many new features, including multiple chains and Bayesian predictions. This presentation will showcase these features. I will demonstrate how to run multiple chains, including in parallel, and how to use them to check for MCMC convergence. I will show how to compute Bayesian predictions and how to use them for model diagnostic checks. And more.
