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

Hi all, I used both OpenBugs and R function bugs{R2WinBUGS} to run a linear mixed effects model based on the same data set and initial values. I got the same summary statistics but different posterior samples. However, if I order these two sets of samples, one is generated from OpenBugs and the other is generated from R, they turn to be the same. And the samples from R do not have any

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

Hi All, I am trying to figure out how to use R-Coda with the output from OpenBugs. I have installed and loaded the packages BRugs and R2WinBUGS. I have successfully run a simple Bayes model in WinBUGS using R2WinBUGS' "bugs" and have used "read.bugs" to build the coda object. I can successfully switch to OpenBugs and run the same model and get the basic summary

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... This works perfectly (yay!): wine Z:/opt/OpenBUGS/winbugs.exe Within R, however, I get this: (setup the example from ?bugs, then....) R> schools.sim <- bugs(data, inits, parameters, model.file, n.chains=3,

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.

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

This weekend I noticed that my R2WinBUGS connection was no longer working on my Windows computer at work AND my Ubuntu linux computer at home. As soon as WinBUGS opens, the message reads Index Out Of Range. I have un-installed and re-installed R on both computers and the problem remains the same. At first I thought it was the new version of R, but I was able to overcome the problem (on Windows

Apologies if this isn't acceptable for the general help list. I'm running OpenBUGS model via the R2WinBUGS package interface, under Windows. Is it possible to terminate running models, short of using the Windows Task Manager to forcibly exit the program? Regards, Richie.

Dear All: Could anybody help me figure out why I get the Error message below while I running the example code of bugs() function in R2OpenBUGS packages? I have tried the code both in Win 7 and Ubuntu 12.04, but they show the same message. My R version is 2.15.1 in win7 and 2.15.0 in Ubuntu. Many thanks !

Dear All, I am trying to use the glmmBUGS package with OpenBUGS under Linux. Here is a short list of code I modified from the diseasemapping package document: ---------------------------------------- library(diseasemapping) data(popdata) data(casedata) model = getRates(casedata, popdata, ~age*sex, breaks=seq(0, 90, by=10) ) ontario = getSMR(popdata,model, casedata) spplot(ontario,

Hi, I'm working on the codes below however every time I run them when they get to OpenBUGS I keep getting the error message: array index is greater than array upper bound for hab. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Suzie Codes: ungulate <- read.csv(file.choose ()) #ungulate ungulate <- as.matrix(ungulate);colnames(ungulate)<-NULL;rownames(ungulate)<-NULL

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, I'm currently working on the below codes however whenever I run it in openbugs it gives an error message saying: unknown type of logical function error pos 76.

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

Dear R-users, I am trying to use the following code to reproduce results from Prof. Gelman's book, but have the listed error for R2WinBUGS version (the openbugs version is good). I am using R-2.6.1 on windows XP, and all the R packages are most current ones. schools.bug can be found at http://www.stat.columbia.edu/~gelman/bugsR/runningbugs.html . Can anyone help me to figure out what's

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.

After running a model for a while and seeing that it did not converge yet, how can I continue to run, ie not starting anew, the model? I know if I manually/interactively use winbugs, this is possible anytime, but how can I do this in r2winbugs, so that my existing sim$sims.array and other stuff in the object that bugs() returns gets extended? Thanks Toby

Hello, I'm running R version 3.4.2 on Windows. I have a program written in BUGS which I can successfully run from the R2WinBUGS package. I would also like to try and use the same package to use OpenBUGS (version 3.2.3) rather than WinBUGS. The initial output looks ok (shown below), but the OpenBUGS executable is never started. Instead I see a process running called ?BugsHelper.exe *32? in
