Anyone used jags.parallel in latest version of R2jags? Ubuntu Oneiric, just ran updates in R to get latest R2jags package which supposedly has added jags.parallel command to send chains to multiple cores ... but when I submit, I get: test <- jags.parallel(d, inits, param, model.file="rats.bug", n.chains=3, n.iter=2000) Error: could not find function

I define priors in jags within r using a gamma distribution. I would like to control the shape but I have problems. Any help will be usefull. From help of dgamma ___________________ The Gamma distribution with parameters shape = a and scale = s has density f(x)= 1/(s^a Gamma(a)) x^(a-1) e^-(x/s) and rate=1/scale From jags user manual ____________________ dgamma(r, mu) has a density of

Dear all, I have a question regarding using JAGS and R. My problem is that every single time I want to call JAGS from R the latter crashes (i.e. it turns pale and the Windows tells me "R has stopped working". Strangely, if there is a mistake in my jags code, this will be reported without a crash. Only when the code is right and the model should start to run, R stops working. I already

Hello, I can`t figure out how to include a text file for use in an example in the .Rd help files of an R package I am writing. I want the examples section of one help file to look like this: \examples{ # Load the JAGS model mod <- jags.model("model.txt") } The function jags.model tries to read in the file model.txt. So far every time I run R CMD check, I get an error message:

Hallo! I want to use the package bayesmix. Trying the examples I had no success. The reason is, I think: > haveJAGS() [1] FALSE Have read of JAGS executable (I could not find JAGS.exe in my R directory). What is JAGS? Where can I find or download it? Karl

Frank (or anyone else), can you offer any comments comparing runjags, R2jags, rjags ? I couldn't find any vignettes, nothing except a brief mention on Task Views.

There is a thread on this topic already: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/Rhelp10/2010-August/250934.html I'm rather mystified by a similar problem and wondering whether I've overlooked something obvious. I'm running with latest versions of R and all packages, and latest version of JAGS running under Windows 7. Here's the problem. I have some source code. It's given below -

May I request that Dirk's package for jags be added to the CRAN archives for Debian and Ubuntu? Installing the rjags package for R requires specific versions of jags to be present on the system. The current version of rjags requires jags version 2.2.0 or later but the version on the Ubuntu archives at Canonical (i.e. not the CRAN archives) is 2.1.0-2 I can always install Dirk's package

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).

Hello ALL! Some times ago I started to learn and play with Bayesian stuffs. Many advice use of WinBUGS for Bayesian inference Using Gibbs Sampler. However, WinBUGS is discontinued, and now, development is under OpenBUGS. I wasn't lazy, so I installed both and tried out. In more than 90% of cases they give comparable outcome. But in few cases I got substantial differences. Recently, I read nice

Hi, all: I met "Non-conforming parameters for function %*%" problem, when I run the Jags model in R. My model is like this: model{ for(i in 1:n){ for(j in 1:t[i]){ et[i,j]<-yt[i,j]-beta0+betax*xt[i,j]+betat*t[i,j] } for(a in 1:t[i]){ for(b in 1:t[i]){ sigma[i,a,b]<-pow(rho0,abs(t[a]-t[b])) } } phi[i]<-

Could anyone give me some clues as to the best way to debug this error message? I think it is from the passing of variables back to R from the jags function which does Bayesian fitting. The curious part for me is that the error messages seem random, yet the input data are always the same. Any suggestions most welcome. Thanks J Compiling model graph Resolving undeclared variables

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

Hello, I am trying to install rjags on R 3.0.0 that is running on CentOS 6.4. Jags is installed and seems to be working correctly. I get the following error when trying to install from source or CRAN, configure: error: "Problem with header file /usr/include/JAGS/Console.h " See `config.log' for more details JAGS was intalled with an rpm. Does not look like the rpm included

Hi, With the sid package jags (2.0.0-1) and r-base-core (2.11.0-1), I cannot install package rjags anymore (this used to work at some point; can't recall exactly at what R/JAGS versions): ---<--------------------cut here---------------start------------------->--- R> install.packages("rjags", configure.args="--with-jags-modules=/usr/lib/JAGS/modules-2.0.0")

Ubuntu R users, Early this month, version 3.0 of JAGS was released on its Sourceforge page. Dirk Eddelbuettel and I quickly rolled up packages for Debian and Ubuntu, respectively. If you are an Ubuntu user who utilizes my Launchpad PPA for your R related .deb files, JAGS was updated automatically. The downside to this is that JAGS 3.0 is not compatible with the R package rjags, also found

I know this has been covered before but I have read all the posts on this subject but I still cannot resolve it. I tried to install rjags on a 64bit Fedora 17 and I got this error message Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'rjags', details: call: dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) error: unable to load shared object '/usr/lib64/R/library/rjags/libs/rjags.so':

Hello folks Earlier versions of jags and rjags installed on my system without any difficulty, but I'm having trouble with jags version 4.3.0-1ubuntu2~ubuntu14.04.1~ppa1 (from Michael Rutter's R ppa) and rjags version 4.6. The call to install.packages() I always used successfully now produces the error "cannot link to JAGS library in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu."? shown below

Hi, I'm trying to install rjags and R2jags with R version 2.14.1 (2011-12-22) on Linux Mint 12 machine using software repository: deb http://cran.fhcrc.org/bin/linux/ubuntu oneiric/ jags seems to install OK, but rjags gives a weird error about not finding fprec symbol. Here is a history of the problem including several attempts to work around it. (Because of Ben Bolker's recent

Hello. In this post: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/Rhelp10/2010-March/233815.html Uwe Ligges suggests using BRugs rather than R2WinBUGS under windows. He also notes that it is not in the main CRAN repository, but it is in "extras" which is a default repository under windows. I have OpenBUGS 3.1.0 (the latest that has a native Linux version which is no longer called linBUGS)
