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 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

Hello ALL! I am running Linux, Fedora 15 64-bits, and R on it. I need to use WinBUGS and R2WinBUGS, but as far as I read, WinBUGS is closed project, to be continued with/as OpenBUGS. Thus, I have found R2OpenBUGS on OpenBUGS Contributed Code (http://openbugs.info/w/UserContributedCode), not on CRAN. Author(s) states that it is equivalent for R2WinBUGS. I tried briefly, and realized few minor

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, 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, 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

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

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, +

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

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 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

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

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)

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.

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? Thanks a lot! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Where-to-download-BRugs-tp17411410p17411410.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

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

Hello list, I?ve been trying to get OpenBUGS running on my mac using the wine emulator. I can run Openbugs just fine by doing: wine ~/OpenBUGS312/OpenBUGS.exe In the terminal, so OpenBUGS works. When I try to run the schools example using rbugs(), the OpenBUGS process starts in wine, but it just sits there, no log, no script, no output of any sort. The rbugs () call makes the init,

After so many questions and a considerable delay (almost entirely my fault), the BRugs package version 0.7-4 has been released yesterday. The BRugs package is available from CRAN master already as source and in binary form for Windows and will be synced by the mirrors shortly.
