similar to: Making R talk to Win/OpenBUGS in Linux (again)

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

Dear all, I had trouble in setting up WinBUGS on my Mac, and I'm seeking for some help here. I followed the instruction by Tom Palmer here: http://www.ruudwetzels.com/MacBUGS/winbugsonmacosx.pdf I installed Darwine 1.1.21, and downloaded WinBUGS14. However, when I double-clicked the WinBUGS14.exe file, a black-box dialog window poped up, and I got error message in the Wine log as

I am trying to run WinBUGS 1.4 from the Ubuntu 6.10 Linux distribution. I am using the R2WinBUGS packages with the source file listed below. WinBUGS appears to run properly, but I get the following message after WinBUGS starts in WINE. Does anyone know what may be causing this error and what the correction may be? Thanks ERROR MESSAGE: fixme:ole:GetHGlobalFromILockBytes cbSize is 13824

Hi, I am trying to run the "schools" example in the rbugs library (running winbugs in linux via wine-20041201) but keep getting the following error. Note I have tested wine and winbugs to confirm that both are operational. Error in runBugs(bugs, script.file, n.chains, workingDir, useWine, wine, : BUGS stopped before getting to coda. The command I'm using is:

Hi, I??m trying to use the Win2BUGS package from R and I have a similar problem that reurns with the message: Error in FUN(X[[1]], ...) : symbol print-name too long But, there is no stray ` character in the file ( Sugestions given by: Duncan Temple Lang <duncan> Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2005 07:31:08 -0700 ) The progam in R is: library(R2WinBUGS) library(rbugs) dat <-

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,

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

Hello! Can someone provide me an estimate or relevant source of information on how long is command winepath available or from wich version of wine? I would need this as I work on some R[1] package R2WinBUGS[2] that calls a Windows program WinBUGS[3] and that program needs windows paths. Currently winepath or parsing of .wine/config is used and I wonder if I can remove fiddling with .wine/.config.

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,

Dear all, I'm having a slight issue with R2WinBugs.... it cannot detect where WinBUGS is located. Q: How can I change the default path? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Regards Erica I'm using R2WinBUGs (R version 2.21.1) on windows platform (Windows 7). I have downloaded WinBUGS14.exe and patch 1.4.3. As i'm working with Windows 7 (similiar issues to Vista occur),

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 All Does anyone know if I can avoid to use the write.model() function below? I dont want to do this. Can't bugs() do that automatically for me just by specifying the 4th argument 'model'? Just I like I am also using the 'inits' object! If I use 'model' in the same way as I use 'inits' I am getting the error: > sim <- bugs(data, inits, parameters,

Hi, I tried to use MethComp library and this library make use of the WinBUGS by R2WinBuGUS, but I get the follow error in bugs.run: *Error in bugs.run(n.burnin, bugs.directory, WINE = WINE, useWINE = useWINE, : * Look at the log file and try again with 'debug=TRUE' to figure out what went wrong within Bugs. Anyone can help-me, please? Thanks Cleber library( MethComp ) library(

Dear R user: I am using R2WinBUGs to call WinBUGS from R. But I have some problems in using either the option bugs.seed and summary.only in the function bugs. Here are the programs and error messages. It appears that if I don't use either option, the program runs fine. I am using R2.5.1 and WinBUGs14. The program is not running: > schools.sim <- bugs(data, inits,

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

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 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(...,

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

Dear R-users, I am trying to use the following code to reproduce results from Prof. Gelman's book, but have the listed error for R2WinBUGS version (the openbugs version is good). I am using R-2.6.1 on windows XP, and all the R packages are most current ones. schools.bug can be found at http://www.stat.columbia.edu/~gelman/bugsR/runningbugs.html . Can anyone help me to figure out what's

hi all i would like to use r and winbugs in order to undertake seemingly unrelated regression. i am using the R2WINBUGS library. i just simulated a simple example (sample size is 25) in order to get the correct code. i suspect that the problem is in my definition of the prior. it wants a multivariate node. the example could be extended by including more than 1 X variable in the system of
