ause the fundamental arithmetic operations,
right down to the IEEE 754 encoding level, are not fully specified.
The primary problem is that the precision of operations varies across
different hardware platforms and software implementations.</p>
<p>Stan is designed to allow full reproducibility. However, this is only
possible up to the external constraints imposed by floating point
arithmetic.</p>
<p>Stan results will only be exactly reproducible if <em>all</em> of the following
components are <em>identical<
