I am trying to sample from a multivariate exmodified gaussian but somehow I keep getting bad initial energy error. I tried checking FAQ’s and also the workflow suggested by @ junpenglao however, I am not able to figure out if there some misspecification in my model. with pm.Model() as exp_mod_mdel:…

@non_convex , the issue is now fixed on master :tada:

Bad initial energy when trying to build a multivariate ExGaussian model

Hi,
Have you checked if there are missing values in your observed data, here y? This sounds like it could be the case
