I am an economist who decided it's high time that I learned some Bayesian statistics. I am following An Introduction to Modern Bayesian Econometrics by T. Lancaster. The book recommends using BUGS, but I wonder if there are any alternatives which are free software and fully integrated to R (which I have been using for more than two years for numerical computations.) I would like to learn

I'm currently working on writing up some documentation for some of my code, but am having the darndest time coding in equations. For example, the equation in the following: \details{ Calculated the R Squared for observed endogenous variables in a structural equation model, as well as several other useful summary statistics about the error in thoe variables. R Squared values are

Dear R users: I am using the package coda (the last verison in CRAN) to analyse the output from a MCMC Bayesian analysis. And I get unconsitented results. I have export the chain using the read.table function and after I have transformed this data frame to an mcmc object using the mcmc function. I am interested in three variables, when I use the function effectiveSize I have these figures:

I have been running a Gibbs Sampler to estimate levels of efficiency in the Louisiana Shrimp Industry. I created a matrix (samp) where I stored the results of each iteration for 86 variables. I run 10,000 iterations. So, the matrix samp is 10,000 x 86. I want to use the gelman-rubin test to check for convergence. To do that, I need at least two chains. If I run second chain with different starting

People's valiant efforts to sort out CODA aside, the burning question remains: has anybody made any headway with restart()? or any other way (and there may well be better) of trapping `fatal' errors from calls within a function.

I am having not a little difficulty in using R-CODA version 0.4 with R-Windows 0.64.2. Basically I want to produce some postscript plots from the updates. It seems the WinBugs output is OK for cut-and-paste operations but don't allow much flexibility for anything else. So far, I can produce the .ind and .out files from WinBugs 1.2 and these seem OK (in particular they are text files not

Dear list, I got an automatic email complaining than some of my packages didn't pass 'R CMD check' for R-2.10.0 alpha anymore. Both of them make use of the "cases" LaTeX environment. Inspecting the log outputs I got: LaTeX errors when creating PDF version. This typically indicates Rd problems. LaTeX errors found: ! Misplaced alignment tab

I have been checking my package coda with the current R-devel using "R CMD check". As usual, this has uncovered a large number of errors and inconsistencies in my documentation, for which I am very grateful. The only problem I have is with code/documentation mismatches when I have written a method for a generic function, e.g. * checking for code/documentation mismatches ... WARNING

This fairly harmless looking piece of code, which worked in 0.61 (and in S-PLUS) fails in 0.62.1.

HI Everybody Does anyone know of documentation about different ways of obtaining user input in R. I have used readline() but I wondered is there are sophisticated packages that does things like validate answers or generate selection lists. bets regards Christaan [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi Does anyone know of any R coding/functions for MCMC approaches? I am currently using BUGS but I wonder if the bazaar has produced anything? I think I am pushing BUGS to it's limit and possibly past it at the moment.

Dear all, I recently started having some problemd with the coda package. I have also deleted it and then installed the package again. The problem is that I cant access the codamenu. That is ; ********************************************************************************************************************************************* > library(coda) > codamenu() Error in

Hi, people. I was a bit intrigued by the message quoted below. Indeed, if pt() is given a matrix, it returns a matrix. Should this feature be documented? ?pt speaks about "a vector of quantiles", and says nothing about the type of what it returns. The same might presumably apply to other distribution-related functions. ----- Forwarded message from Martyn Plummer <plummer at

Dear R users: I am a newby to R, under Windows XP. Sorry if my question is too obvious, but I have not found any answer in the archives. I was using the R-Coda package with R version 2.4.1 and everything was going OK. After upgrading to R v.2.5.0, I receive the following error message when I'm trying to run codamenu(): "Error in coda.options(default = TRUE) : cannot change value of

Dear R-helpers, Hi! All. I'm doing a project which needs MCMC simulation. I wonder whether there exists related packages in R. The only one I know is a MCMCpack package. What I want to do is implementing gibbs sampling and Metropolis-Hastings Algorithm to get the posterior of hierarchical bayesian models. Thanks in advance. Jun

C++ support across different platforms is now very heterogeneous. The standard is evolving rapidly but there are also platforms in current use that do not support the recent iterations of the standard. Our goal for R 3.4.0 is to give as much flexibility as possible. The default compiler is whatever you get "out of the box" without setting the "-std=" flag. This means different
