rstan_create_package() when directory
already exists. (#68, @mcol)posterior_epred() (#74)Added Martin Lysy as a coauthor.
New function rstan_create_package() (based on
usethis::create_package()) replaces rstan_package_skeleton()
for the purpose of starting a new package with Stan functionality.
Stan functionality can be added to an existing package by calling
use_rstan() instead of starting a new package from scratch.
Stan folder infrastructure now puts all .stan files in inst/stan and all
auto-generated C++ files directly in src. This last step ensures that custom
Rcpp source code can coexist with the Stan C++ code.
Each time a .stan file gets added/removed/modified requires a call to
rstan_config() in order to generate the Stan C++ code and Rcpp::loadModule()
calls. However, setting auto_config = TRUE (the default) in
rstan_create_package() ensures rstan_config() is called whenever the package
is installed (including via devtools::load_all()), so no need to call it
manually unless the user wishes to inspect the Stan C++ code for issues.
roxygen2 documentation is now optional, but remains the default.
Rather than generating Stan "system files" via cat commands, rstantools
now stores these as template files in inst/include/sys, so the build process
can be easily modified as improvements become apparent.

instead.nsamples() (#35)(Github issue/PR numbers in parentheses)
New vignette walking through the package creation process. (#9) (thanks to Stefan Siegert)
rstan_package_skeleton() now calls usethis::create_package() instead of utils::package.skeleton(). (#28)
Update rstan_package_skeleton() for latest build process (#19)
rstan_package_skeleton() now does a bit more work for the user to make sure the the NAMESPACE file is correct.

rstan_package_skeleton() to correspond to rstanarm 2.17.2.(Github issue/PR numbers in parentheses)
bayes_R2() generic and default method. (#8)(Github issue/PR numbers in parentheses)
init_cpp() function for generating src/init.cpp in order to pass R CMD
check in R 3.4.x. rstan_package_skeleton() calls init_cpp() internally. (#6)(Github issue/PR numbers in parentheses)

Fix some typos in the developer guidelines vignette. (#3, #4)
Add loo_predict(), loo_linpred(), and loo_predictive_interval() generics in
preparation for adding methods to the rstanarm package. (#5)
Changes to rstan_package_skeleton:

Include methods in Depends field of DESCRIPTION file.
