Summary
This backports (up-ports?) the assign functions from the Stan repo into this repo and refactors the
assign()
function to allow for better slice indexingThe scheme here is that for slicing like
A[2:5, 1:10]
Vector[1:10]
we want to translate that directly into Eigen'sblock()
or.segment()
functions. For functions that slice over rows and columns likeA[, {1, 3, 8}]
andA[1:N, :N]
So that Eigen knows what columns it's slicing by first and then the slice of rows.Tests
Tests were added for the new overloads and can be run with
@t4c1 would you have time to help me add the
assign()
functions here to the expression testing framework? It's not clear to me how to add all the combinations of index typesSide Effects
This should have no side effects until we change the compiler to use the
assign
function in thestan::math
namespace instead of the ones defined in thestan::model
namespaceRelease notes
Assign statements in Stan have better support for slice indexing
