Description
There are two annoying assert checks that I commonly run up against when writing time series models here and here. Other users are hitting them too, see for example here.
It would be much nicer to have a real error message that explains what has gone wrong and why, or at least gives some information about which parts of the graph are going wrong.
I'm not 100% sure how one ends up hitting these asserts, so I tagged this with needs info. It seems to have to do with having multiple outputs from the scan inner function in a custom dist.
