similar to: Winbugs

I am trying to figure out if it is possible to run winBUGS from within R, using R2winBUGS, without having winBUGS spawn any windows (basically - 'true' batch - no GUI actions at all). The reason being I have a machine which I (and several others) ssh/telnet into, and would like to run winBUGS without having to mount a virtual desktop of any kind. I've looked through the r2winBUGS

Dear all, I want to run two winBugs process through R (by R2WinBUGS package). The first WinBUGS process can successfully perform under R. The error message appears while I put the code to run for the second WinBUGS. The error message: Error in file(file, ifelse(append, "a", "w")) : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In file(file, ifelse(append,

Hi, I'm having trouble running a script within winbugs when calling winbugs from R. Here are a few lines from the winbugs log: display(log) check(C:\DOCUME~1\michael\LOCALS~1\Temp\RtmpjKnHMu\mm_TO_bugs9bc21e.txt) cannot open C:\DOCUME~1\michael\LOCALS~1\Temp\RtmpjKnHMu\mm_TO_bugs9bc21e.txt data(C:/DOCUME~1/michael/LOCALS~1/Temp/RtmpjKnHMu/data.txt) command #Bugs:data cannot be executed (is

Hi, I am very new to R and Winbugs. I have been provided with a code that runs Winbugs from R. The code runs 60 different models and I would like to either save the Winbugs log file for each of these or reproduce the WinBugs plots which show convergence over the iterations.I can do this by using Debug=true and saving manually each time but obviously this is very time consuming. Many thanks Ruth

Hi, I am trying to use WinBUGS using R, but i am having some problems using bugs function: out <- bugs(data = win.data, inits = inits, parameters.to.save = params, model.file = "model.txt", n.thin = nt, n.chains = nc, n.burnin = nb, n.iter = ni, debug = TRUE, DIC = TRUE, working.directory = getwd()) ls() WinBUGS file is in working directory=D:/Line/documents but R looks for

Hello ALL! I am running Linux, Fedora 15 64-bits, and R on it. I need to use WinBUGS and R2WinBUGS, but as far as I read, WinBUGS is closed project, to be continued with/as OpenBUGS. Thus, I have found R2OpenBUGS on OpenBUGS Contributed Code (http://openbugs.info/w/UserContributedCode), not on CRAN. Author(s) states that it is equivalent for R2WinBUGS. I tried briefly, and realized few minor

Hi all, I've managed to get JAGS working on my Ubuntu Hardy Linux with a 32-bit computer and AMD processors using R 2.8.1. JAGS is great. I've read that JAGS is the fastest, but that hasn't been my experience. At any rate, I have more experience with WinBUGS under Windows and would like a version of that working as well. It seems like I've read a lot on the subject and tried a

Dear Users, I am new to both of things, so do not blame me too much... I am busy with semiparametric regression and use WinBUGS to sample posteriors. The code to call Winbugs is as follows: data <- list("y","X","n","m") #My variables inits.beta <- rep(0,K) inits.beta0 <- 0 inits <-

Dear all I used R2WinBUGS package's bugs() function to generate MCMC results. Then I tried to save the simulation draws in R, using read.bugs() function. Here is a simple test: ###################### library(coda) library(R2WinBUGS) #fake some data to test beta0=1 beta1=1.5 beta2=-1 beta3=2 N=200 x1=rnorm(N, mean=0,sd=1) x2=rnorm(N, mean=0,sd=1) x3=rnorm(N, mean=0,sd=1) lambda2= exp(beta0+

Please suggest a way out to the following problem. I have a T by n data matrix (say Y) where coulmns are time series of length T. To do some analysis in WinBUGS I need to construct my data as follows. yy<-rep(Y,k) ## this will be a vector Yk<-array(yy,dim=c(T,n,k)) ## data array Here the definition of dim indices is first index: T rows second index: n columns third index: for kth T by n

Dear All: Do you have any experience on calling winbugs in R enviorment? I uploaded R2winbgus, pktools, BRugs, ect. in order to call winbugs. In the end, I try to use bugs(). The error message still displays that bugs() can not find. Do you have any similar issue? If so, could you give your advice? Many Thanks! Xin [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, In WinBUGS 1.4 manual (http://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/bugs/winbugs/manual14.pdf), the gamma density is presented as dgamma(r,mu) where r and mu are the shape and rate parameters, respectively. In JAGS (rjags) manual version 1.0.2, May 9, 2008 (http://www-fis.iarc.fr/~martyn/software/jags/jags_user_manual.pdf), on page 26 the gamma density is presented as dgamma(mu,r) instead of dgamma(r,mu).

Good afternoon sir, i'm a student in Indonesia who study technology management, i need to review the software i'v been develop, i was told to use bayesian SEM because i don't have large sample. i don't know much about statistics but i try to make a code via winbugs.. and a i got a problem. here i attach my winbugs code and my model. could you hep me to find what's wrong with my

Dear Wine-friends, I was wondering if any of you would have a clue around why WinBUGS (http://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/bugs/), a nifty Markov chain Monte Carlo sampler widely used in Bayesian statistical modelling, no longer works when run through any version of WINE newer than 1.1.12. I have encountered this issue of my machines at home (which runs on Zenwalk 6.0) and work (Mandriva 2008.1) a

Hi all, I did some analysis using package R2WinBUGS to call WinBUGS. I set the iterations to 50000 (fairly a large number, I think), but after the program was done, the effective posterior samples contained only 7 draws. I don't know why. By the way, I checked posterior sample size by using bugsobj$n.sims. And, for my previous practice with WinBUGS/R2WinBUGS, no such strange thing happend.

Dear UseRs, Apologies, I tried to post to the list yeasterday, but (for some reason) part of my message got missed off. Here's a second attempt. I am having some problems using R with WinBUGS using the R2WinBUGS package. Specifically, when I try to run bugs() I get the following message. Error in FUN(X[[1L]], ...) : .C(..): 'type' must be "real" for this format To

I try to do a test for dirichlet process for Multivariate normal, but Winbugs always says "expected multivariate node", does that mean I miss something at initialization? I will really appreciate the help to solve this problem Here is the R code, and Winbugs code. model { for(i in 1:N){ y[i,1:2] ~ dmnorm(mu[i,],tau[i,,]) S[i] ~ dcat(pi[]) mu[i,1:2] <- mu.star[S[i],]

Hi there - I have a question for any of you who use R2WinBUGS to call WinBUGS using the useWINE option in that package. I have Codeweaver's Crossover emulator installed on my Intel Mac with WinBUGS working fine if I start it from Crossover. But there is supposed to be a way to start it directly from a command line, which I could pass to the R2WinBUGS using the bugs(...,

Dear R lists, I ran Winbugs under R. I could get the results, but I kept getting the error messages: Error in file(con, "wb") : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning messages: 1: In file.create(to[okay]) : cannot create file 'c:/Program Files/WinBUGS14//System/Rsrc/Registry_Rsave.odc', reason
