similar to: BRugs under Linux?

Greetings: I'm going to encourage some students to try Bayesian ideas for hierarchical models. I want to run the WinBUGS and R examples in Tony Lancaster's An Introduction to Modern Bayesian Econometrics. That features MS Windows and "bugs" from R2WinBUGS. Today, I want to ask how people are doing this in Linux? I have found a plethora of possibilities, some of which are not

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

I've run into persistent problems with OpenBUGS crashing when using BRugs .53 and .71, and am hoping someone has suggestions. There is obviously something unusual going on in my environment, but I'm at a loss as to where to begin to try to solve it. In a nutshell, what happens is that, as soon as I call "modelCheck()" in BRugs, it gets an error or crashes ... but only some of

Hi, this is the first announcement of a *developer version* of the R package BRugs, which is based on OpenBUGS 2.1.0. OpenBUGS 2.1.0 has been released earlier this week (http://mathstat.helsinki.fi/openbugs/). BRugs contains a complete OpenBUGS installation as well as R code to access OpenBUGS functionality from R. Simply install the package, load it and say ?BRugs and ?BRugsFit

I'm back! I've just learned that, on a fully updated Fedora Core Linux5 sytem, the working solution to access Winbugs under wine via the R package "rbugs" no longer works. Here was my last post on this topic (with the formerly working solution) from January. http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/68497.html Currently, what happens is that WinBUGS starts up, but just

I installed XCode, XQuartz and OpenBUGS on my Mac using WINE. When I tried to test my installation I received the following error. If correct, BRugs does not exist for R 2.15.1. Is there a means to get arrange this problem? Thanks Paul The following code is an example from R Help bugs: > schools.sim <- bugs(data, inits, + parameters, model.file, n.chains=3, + n.iter=1000, +

Hi there, I installed the latest OpenBUGS version (3.0.3) in program files folder but it seems that bugs use its own version of OpenBUGS. here is part of the message bugs returns ..... Welcome to BRugs running on OpenBUGS version 2.2.0 beta how can i configure BRugs to use the mine version of OpenBUGS? Cheers, SK --------------------------------- [[alternative

Hi, When I used BRugs (Version 0.8.0), I found a bug about the findOpenBUGS way using "OpenBUGS_PATH". I don't know how to contact the developer, so I think someone here may help me. The issue is: I want to use OpenBUGS/BRugs in a portable way in windows, so I set the environment variable "OpenBUGS_PATH" to tell BRugs the path to OpenBugs. But the R library BRugs is still

Dear all, I just wrote a script to have each of my three mcmc chins running on a different computer core to improve computation speed. To do it I use the function sfLapply from the package snowfall. Before using parallell computation, I did my diagnostic analyses just after the model updating, but now I have to save the coda before. Using the CODA package, it is possible to load the outputs in a

Hola; estoy intentando utilizar el paquete BRugs y cuando entra el comando: library(BRugs) me da el siguiente error: Error: .onLoad failed in loadNamespace () for ''Brugs'' Alguien puede ayudarme?

Hi all, I tried to follow an online tutorial to run openBUgs but the package BRugs has been removed from R repository. Could someone provide a link for where to download BRugs?

Hi all, I observed that the 'link' between R and BUGS (winBugs/linBugs) has totally disappeared. I'm wondering what package can be use to run bayesian models specified using the BUGS language in R (specifically under Linux). Is there any other option besides JAGS ?

Hi, I have a strange behaviour of openBUGS and WinBUGS when I start them from R. Version: R: 2.10.1 openBUGS: 3.07 WinBUGS: 1.43 R2WinBUGS: 2.1-16 BRugs: 0.5-3 I have a model and data without initial start values. If I use the stand alone versions of openBUGS and WinBUGS I don't have any problems and I get what I want. If I use function bugs() from R2WinBUGS- resp. BRugs-Library then

Respected Sir/Madam, I am a research scholar of Department of Statistics, University Of Calcutta. I had downloaded the latest version of "BRugs", and installed it in R 2.15.1 both in 32 and 64 bits with the help of openBUGS 3.2.2. My problem is that one of the programmes which requires the package "BRugs" is giving me an error given below:

To All, I am using the BRugs package. In running the meta file BRugsFit() with a syntactically correct model .txt file, I see the message: Error in FUN(X[[1]], ...) : .C(..): 'type' must be "real" for this format I haven't found information on this kind of error either here or on the OpenBUGS/WinBUGS/BRugs bulletin boards. If there is a better place to post this

Hello, all. When I try to install the most recent BRugs package (the one that uses version 3.1.2), found here: http://www.openbugs.info/w/UserContributedCode I get the following error: > utils:::menuInstallLocal() Error in gzfile(file, "r") : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In gzfile(file, "r") : cannot open compressed file

Hello R users, I have used the R package BRugs in some applications but one thing that annoy me is the functions to retrieve samples ("samplesSample") or summary statistics ("samplesStats"). They take a really long time to return the values if the size of the chains in question is moderate, for example 10.000 samples. Does this happens with every one or there is a better way

Hi, I'm running wine-1.0.1, OpenBUGS 3.0.3, R 2.9.0, and R2WinBUGS on a Redhat Enterprise Linux machine. Following various peoples' suggestions...
