Description
Summary:
I get the following error
Error in sort.matrix(x, partial = half + 0L:1L) : unused argument (partial = half + 0:1)
Description:
I have updated R and found when running my stan models that I get the error above. I re-ran the 8schools.cpp example to see if it wasn't just my models but that also produced the error. I assume it is something to do with versions
Reproducible Steps:
I get re-running 8schools.R, added below
library("rstan")
## change some settings
rstan_options(auto_write = TRUE)
options(mc.cores = parallel::detectCores())
## setwd
schools_dat <- list(J = 8,
y = c(28, 8, -3, 7, -1, 1, 18, 12),
sigma = c(15, 10, 16, 11, 9, 11, 10, 18))
## useful for debugging.
Debug = stanc("8schools.stan")
Debug$status
#optimize using mle
school_model = stan_model("8schools.stan")
mle = optimizing(school_model,data=schools_dat,
iter=2000,algorithm="LBFGS",
verbose=FALSE,as_vector = FALSE)
## optimisation is fine
## run MCMC.
fit <- stan(file = '8schools.stan', data = schools_dat,
iter = 1000, chains = 4)
## Error produced here
Current Output:
Error in sort.matrix(x, partial = half + 0L:1L) : unused argument (partial = half + 0:1)
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In validityMethod(object) :
The following variables have undefined values: A_non_used_container. Many subsequent functions will not work correctly.
2: There were 2 divergent transitions after warmup. Increasing adapt_delta above 0.8 may help. See
http://mc-stan.org/misc/warnings.html#divergent-transitions-after-warmup
3: Examine the pairs() plot to diagnose sampling problems
Expected Output:
No error
RStan Version:
‘2.19.2’
R Version:
R version 3.6.1 (2019-07-05)
Operating System:
Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)

Research direction
Start by running the provided 8schools.R reproduction with RStan 2.19.2 and R 3.6.1 on Windows, focusing on the failure during stan() after optimizing() succeeds. Trace the sort.matrix call and the reported validity warning, then verify the example completes without the unused partial argument error.
