1) You have too little data for Deep Learning
2) You want to do statistical modelling, not a black box. You already have a statistical model in mind, you just want to fit parameters.
Stan is probabilistic programming system. You describe the data-producing mechanism (the model of reality), and the level and form of approximations used in the estimation. The compiler generates code for the estimators.
