Details

There are multiple ways of specifying initial values to Stan, see the init argument in cmdstanr::model-method-sample for full details. Within this package we supply initial values via a list of lists where each inner list contains the initial values for a single chain. As such the n_chains argument specifies the number of inner lists to generate.

See the Vignette for further details of how to specify initial values.
