Bayesian estimation in Stata is similar to standard estimation—simply prefix the estimation command with bayes: (see [BAYES] bayes). You can also refer to [BAYES] bayesmh and [BAYES] bayesmh evaluators for fitting more general Bayesian models.
The following estimation commands support the bayes prefix:
