Hi All: I am running R2WinBUGS so that I could automate the running of my Multivariate Logit Normal model on 300 simulated datasets. The problem I have is I am not able to read in the data correctly and then code it in the automation part. *Heres my model:* model { for (j in 1 : Nf) { p1[j, 1:2 ] ~ dmnorm(gamma[1:2], T[1:2 ,1:2]) # T is the precision matrix or inverse sigma for MVN for (i in 1:2) { logit(p[j,i])<-p1[j,i] Y[j,i] ~ dbin(p[j,i],n) } } # Hyper-priors: gamma[1:2] ~ dmnorm(mn[1:2],prec[1:2 ,1:2]) mn<-c(-1.59,-2.44) prec<-structure(.Data = c(.001,0,0,.001),.Dim = c(2, 2)) T[1:2 ,1:2] ~ dwish(R[1:2 ,1:2], 2) sigma2[1:2, 1:2] <-inverse(T[,]) rho <- sigma2[1,2]/sqrt(sigma2[1,1]*sigma2[2,2]) R<-structure(.Data = c(.001,0,0,.001),.Dim = c(2, 2)) } As of now my *Y is in 2 seperate datasets*,generated using the 2 different p's.I am using the first 5 simulated datsets for now.My question is should I put the two Y's together in one dataset and then read that. If so, how do I read it? *Heres my automation code:* trial.data <- read.table("trial_data.txt", header=T) bugs.output <- list() for(i in 1:5){ nausea <- as.integer(trial.data[i,]) bugs.output[[i]] <- bugs( data=list(nausea=nausea, Nf=20), model.file="model.txt", n.iter=12000, n.burnin=5000, bugs.directory="E:/AChaudhuri/winbugs14/WinBUGS14")} Appreciate any help.
