I’m building a model where the likelihood is gamma and the alpha and beta priors have a LaPlace and beta distribution, respectively. I need to specify the beta distribution with the loc and scale parameters that are specified in scipy , in addition to ‘a’ and ‘b’. I found a post that allows me to s…

Specifying loc and scale on beta prior requires bounds, gives error

Can we see the model throws the initial evaluation failure?
