What is this model
H=hits \sim Bin(AB=at\ bats, AVG=p)\\
AVG=p \sim Beta(\alpha, \beta)\\
E[p] = \frac{\alpha}{\alpha+\beta} = \mu\\
\mu = \beta_0+\beta_1*lnAB+\beta_2*bats
Which the bats means handedness.

So basically it’s a betabinomial model, with the expectation mu is associated with ln(AB) and bats, a boolean variable. The problem is that this code worked at first try, but after I revised other parts(e.g. generating data part), it crashed. I pasted the error messsage below.

Unfortunetly, I have already check my data and they were all inside the given range, so I don’t know how to deal with it
