I am finally executing my model. I get a Rejecting initial value: Log probability evaluates to log(0), i.e. negative infinity. Stan can’t start sampling from this initial value. Initialization between (-2, 2) failed after 100 attempts. Try specifying initial values, reducing ranges of constrain…

How to find out which statement the error occurred at

its 2.16. My model is really big, so I don’t think I want to post it all. I thought there would be some kind of debugging message that I can turn on.
