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

My reply seems not to have made it to either list 24 hours after I sent it, so I'm sending it again.

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).

Dear List: the CODA and BOA packages for the analysis of MCMC output yield different results on two dignostic test of convergence: 1) Geweke's convergence diagnostic; 2) Heidelberger and Welch's convergence diagnostic. Does that imply that the CODA and BOA packages implement different ``flavors'' of the same test? I paste below an example. Geweke's test

Is there any way of running R in ESS using -n and -v arguments other than the default?

Hi all: The CODA package provides Geweke Diagnostic method for convergence checking. The geweke.diag in CODA returns Z-score value but not give a conclustion that it is convergence or not. So I'd like to know how small/big the magnitude of Z-score is corresponding to the convergence of a chain. That is, Doese Z-score smaller or more than *threshold *determine the convergence? If so, how big

You won't get mundane things like ordered probit off the shelf. (I will be very happy if someone will show

Is there a way to "unplug" the windows graphics from R, so that it will work across a teletype telnet session or in a Linux box proving resistant to having windows added to it?

Has anyone tried to build R on Suns by linking to the versions of BLAS and LINPACK in the Sun Performance Library rather than the standard versions included in the distribution? On the face of it this would seem to be a highly desirable thing to do since these versions of the routines are more efficient and can exploit parallelism on multiprocessor machines.

I have C routines in a collection of files "/homef/jonm/postdocs/GLMM_project/Cprogs/nn/misc.o" "/homef/jonm/postdocs/GLMM_project/Cprogs/nn/random.o" "/homef/jonm/postdocs/GLMM_project/Cprogs/nn/ars.o" ... etc , where the third file includes functions which call functions in the second. In S, the function > gload function() {

Dear friends, Over the past weeks, I have been asking a lot of questions about how to use R in Bayesian analysis. I am brand new to R, but I am very pleased with it. I started with winbugs but I found winbugs to be a limited software, not bad but has several limitations. By contrast, R allows the analyst to tackle any problem with a huge set of tools for any kind of analysis. I love R. In

Hello folks Earlier versions of jags and rjags installed on my system without any difficulty, but I'm having trouble with jags version 4.3.0-1ubuntu2~ubuntu14.04.1~ppa1 (from Michael Rutter's R ppa) and rjags version 4.6. The call to install.packages() I always used successfully now produces the error "cannot link to JAGS library in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu."? shown below

Dear R users, I'd like to announce a new package on CRAN called ``denstrip''. It implements ``density strips'' and other graphical methods for illustrating and comparing distributions in a compact fashion. Posterior distributions of parameters are often summarised using point and line drawings of means and credible intervals. This is common, for example, in multiple

The document R-exts contains the following example of using mathematics in R documentation. \deqn{p(x) = {\lambda^x\ \frac{e^{-\lambda}}{x!}} {p(x) = lambda^x exp(-lambda)/x!} There is a syntax error in there, but that's not my point. The problem is that using "R CMD Rd2dvi" I find that putting the alternate forms of the equation on top of each other doesn't work.

We have a user who wants to use Outlook with our Dovecot IMAP server but doesn't like the way Outlook handles deletion with IMAP. Ironically she would like Outlook to move the message to her Trash folder, just like Outlook does with "local" folders, I guess. So I enabled the "deleted-to-trash" plugin (v0.3) on our Dovecot 1.2.17 server (built for SPARC, solaris 10,

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.
