similar to: running WinBUGS by using wine in linux

Hello all (1) My departmental IT guru has installed the latest Wine (0.9.48) on a well maintained Fedora 7 server, so that I can run WinBUGS from R via R2WinBUGS (this seems like the only real option for running BUGS from R on a Linux platform?) (2) WinBUGS seems to run okay, except for the following output errors: === === === fixme:keyboard:RegisterHotKey (0x10024,13,0x00000002,3): stub

Hi, I need to run Winbugs 1.4.3 on my Mac OS X. It used to work this way. However, according to this post (http://www.aidanfindlater.com/installing-openbugs-in-mac-os-x-using-winebottler) [the last reply], the latest version Wine (1.1.44) doesn't support Winbugs anymore. Does anyone know a solution to this? Much appreciated for your suggestion! Best, TJ

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 there - I have a question for any of you who use R2WinBUGS to call WinBUGS using the useWINE option in that package. I have Codeweaver's Crossover emulator installed on my Intel Mac with WinBUGS working fine if I start it from Crossover. But there is supposed to be a way to start it directly from a command line, which I could pass to the R2WinBUGS using the bugs(...,

Dear Wine-friends, I was wondering if any of you would have a clue around why WinBUGS (http://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/bugs/), a nifty Markov chain Monte Carlo sampler widely used in Bayesian statistical modelling, no longer works when run through any version of WINE newer than 1.1.12. I have encountered this issue of my machines at home (which runs on Zenwalk 6.0) and work (Mandriva 2008.1) a

Hi All, I'm using WinBUGS on a very simple survival model (log-normal with one covariate "Treat"), but I cannot understand the way it handles censored data. I'm posting the R file which generates the data from pre-specified parameters, as well as the .bug file. The question is, if I use NA to denote the censored data (as suggested by the example Mice in WinBUGS Example Vol.I),

Hi, I am trying to use WinBUGS using R, but i am having some problems using bugs function: out <- bugs(data = win.data, inits = inits, parameters.to.save = params, model.file = "model.txt", n.thin = nt, n.chains = nc, n.burnin = nb, n.iter = ni, debug = TRUE, DIC = TRUE, working.directory = getwd()) ls() WinBUGS file is in working directory=D:/Line/documents but R looks for

Dear all, I want to run two winBugs process through R (by R2WinBUGS package). The first WinBUGS process can successfully perform under R. The error message appears while I put the code to run for the second WinBUGS. The error message: Error in file(file, ifelse(append, "a", "w")) : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In file(file, ifelse(append,

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

Hi, I am very new to R and Winbugs. I have been provided with a code that runs Winbugs from R. The code runs 60 different models and I would like to either save the Winbugs log file for each of these or reproduce the WinBugs plots which show convergence over the iterations.I can do this by using Debug=true and saving manually each time but obviously this is very time consuming. Many thanks Ruth

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

Dear all I used R2WinBUGS package's bugs() function to generate MCMC results. Then I tried to save the simulation draws in R, using read.bugs() function. Here is a simple test: ###################### library(coda) library(R2WinBUGS) #fake some data to test beta0=1 beta1=1.5 beta2=-1 beta3=2 N=200 x1=rnorm(N, mean=0,sd=1) x2=rnorm(N, mean=0,sd=1) x3=rnorm(N, mean=0,sd=1) lambda2= exp(beta0+

Please suggest a way out to the following problem. I have a T by n data matrix (say Y) where coulmns are time series of length T. To do some analysis in WinBUGS I need to construct my data as follows. yy<-rep(Y,k) ## this will be a vector Yk<-array(yy,dim=c(T,n,k)) ## data array Here the definition of dim indices is first index: T rows second index: n columns third index: for kth T by n

Dear R users, I've found bugs.R : the functions for running WinBUGs from R that is writen by Dr. Andrew Gelman who is a professor from Columbia University. The bugs.R would be very useful for me, and I think many of you know it as well. I followed the instuctions on Dr. Gelman's web to install all of documents that bugs.R needs, but when I try to run the school example the web posted in

Dear all, I'm calling Winbugs (1.4.3) through R2WinBugs (2.1-18 coda_0.14-7) to fit a switching random walk model, but come up with an instant trap with the log only displaying 'check('. I will paste the trap with session info below; I'd be very grateful for any ideas. Couple of leads: 1. I presume the problem relates to the r package itself or the way I call bugs(), because I

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...
