--info include information parameter transforms #1461
Description
Could the stanc --info command include information about constraints? At the moment, e.g.,
parameters {
real<lower=0, upper=1> theta;
}
and
parameters {
real theta;
}
both result in identical output,
{
"inputs": {},
"parameters": { "theta": { "type": "real", "dimensions": 0 } },
"transformed parameters": {},
"generated quantities": {},
"functions": [],
"distributions": [],
"included_files": []
}
that doesn't mention the constraints. It would be great if the one with constraints gave something like,
{
"inputs": {},
"parameters": { "theta": { "type": "real", "dimensions": 0, "lower": 0, "upper": 1 } },
"transformed parameters": {},
"generated quantities": {},
"functions": [],
"distributions": [],
"included_files": []
}
Ideally, this would work everywhere (i.e., in all the blocks), and cover the shift and scale modifiers as well.
