  Ass.ulam<-ulam(
    alist(
        Th14.z ~ dnorm( mu , sigma ) ,
        mu <- a[cond]+b[cond]*(Age-27.7219),
        a[cond]~ dnorm( 0, 0.1) ,
        b[cond]~dnorm(0,0.3),
        sigma ~ dexp( 1 )
    ) , data=dat_list, chains=1 )
}

It seems to point out the error quite clearly :)

I guess it’s because you have a (.) in your variable name?

It works when I removed the dot. Thank you very much.
