Hi Everyone,

what does parser expected mean in general?

Also, we can’t set lower bounds or upper bounds for vector declarations inside model block as follows?

model {

vector<lower=1.01> [10] Omega;

.
.
.
}
When I do this, I’m getting a parser expected syntax error: ‘integer expression in square brackets’

what does it mean?

No, because those bounds are not verified. You can do

model {
  vector[10] Omega;
  ...
}

Stan language is translated (with a parser) to a C++ code which is then compiled and executed.
