Error "Rejecting initial value"

[hellenlima]

When running: Rscript base.r base --debug or even in the full mode: Rscript base.r base --full

I am getting the following error message:

Chain 2: Rejecting initial value:
Chain 2:   Error evaluating the log probability at the initial value.
Chain 2: Exception: neg_binomial_2_lpmf: Failures variable[53] is -6, but must be

Chain 2:
Chain 2: Initialization between (-2, 2) failed after 100 attempts.

here are whatever error messages were returned

It is worth to note that I was running the model daily without any problems.

Did anyone have a similar issue? Any idea of how to solve it?

• OS: Windows 10 Pro

Just found out what happened. Apparently Denmark learned how to resurrect people during the pandemic 😆
