About the Modeling category

This category is for issues with specifying models as Stan programs or fitting them in Stan.

We highly recommend that you include the full model that you are trying to fit as well as any data (preferably in a text file generated by stan_rdump) so that other users can try to recreate your issue.

If you are new to Stan then we also recommend reviewing the Stan Best Practices.

I have the following answer for my model in fit1

fit1<-brm(mvbind(L0,L1,L2,L3) ~ cs(Sex) + (Sex | Families), data = S11, family = acat(“logit”), chains=2)

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

Chain 2: Try specifying initial values, reducing ranges of constrained values, or reparameterizing the model.

[1] “Error in sampler$call_sampler(args_list[[i]]) : Initialization failed.”

[1] “error occurred during calling the sampler; sampling not done”

Please help me running my model.

Kind regards
