Re: [R-SIG-Mac] Rstan compilation hangs misterisouly

2020-11-09 Thread Milani Chaloupka

Hi Goncalo

The issue, as I pointed out to you yesterday on Stan Discourse, is rstan (the 
interface to Stan via R).

And hence my advice to you there was to downgrade to Stan 2.19.3

It was not your Makevars file - although that was an incomplete Makevars you 
had if there were in fact no typos in your previous email.

As others have pointed out, a Makevars file is no longer necessary to run Stan 
if using MACOS X Catalina onwards.

Nor is the Renviron file.

Do not upgrade to any rstan higher than 2.19.3 until the rstan issues on 
various platforms are resolved.

Meanwhile, you can use, as is my preference, the CmdStan and cmdstanr interface 
to Stan instead of rstan, which …

(1) samples quite a bit faster than rstan

(2) is more up-to-date with Stan although with a few less features than rstan

http://mc-stan.org/cmdstanr/articles/cmdstanr.html

And if you are using the brms interface to Stan then it also has an option in 
the brm() function to use cmdstanr as the backend rather than rstan.

Milani

Hi,

Not sure if this helps and/or is even related but since about 2 months I have 
not been able to get rstan to work inside the R-GUI. Like you describe, it 
hangs and never returns. I don’t use rstan directly but use ulam() in the

After struggling for a few weeks I decided to try it in vanilla R and found

left me hanging with this output:

stn_md> stancode <- ‘data {real y_mean;} parameters {real y;} model {y ~

That’s what’s been happening with any attempt to compile.

This line will essentially overwrite what RStan does for compilation. So
yes, this is potentially a bad thing.
