I'm trying to understand how a latent state matrix is updated by the MCMC iterations in a WinBUGS model, using the package R2WinBUGS and an example from Kery and Schaub's (2012) book, "Bayesian Population Analysis Using WinBUGS". The example I'm using is 7.3.1. from a chapter on the Cormack-Jolly-Seber model. Some excerpted code is included at the end of this message;

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

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

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

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':

Has anybody had issues running MCMC (either BUGS or JAGS) on data sets of this magnitude (ie 30k x 20-30). I've been trying to run a hierarchical random effects model on expression data but R completely stalls out on jobs run on 32bit R on our server (doesn't respond...then eventually crashes out with an exception fault). Would using 64bit R help with JAGS? (As far as I know there's

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:

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

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).

It turns out that when I use GUI (file-change dir) to set the working directory, R will crash. If I use setwd() instead, the example runs well.

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

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 -

Hi all, I'd like to fit different models using a loop together with the jags package. to do this, I load the following packages "runjags", "R2jags" and "coda" and use the function "jags" to fit my models. The problem is that the following a windowx with the following message appear between each model fitting inside my loop : the following objects in

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

Hi all! I have written some code in C for simulating the fate of population using a dll loaded in R. During this simulation the population may go extinct such that the length of its trajectory is unknown beforehand. I wonder there is a way to define the size of the result in C and make it known to R to get the vector appropriately. I have defined the output size very much larger than

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 everyone, I am trying to run the example of multistate occupancy model from the book Bayesian Population Analysis using WinBUGS (Marc Kéry and Michael Schaub): This example is available on http://www.vogelwarte.ch/code-for-running-bpa-using-jags.html When I try to run the first line of this section of the model : # Initial values zst
