I updated my system to a new python version 3.9 and hence also reinstalled latest pystan. I was using pystan2 before. I know get this error I never saw before. Any ideas?

pystan should do a better job of displaying the error message. The relevant error is “Initialization failed.”.

It could be a problem with your Stan model. Stan is having a hard time finding a good place to start sampling from.

Oh ok, it did work before properly, maybe I need to scale my input data better. Let me try
