Hi, I am trying to do run the following model saved in "C:/bugs/sus.bug" model { for (i in 1:n){ y[i] ~ dpois(lamdba[i]) log(lambda[i]) <- mu+bmale[male[i]]+bschn[schn[i]]+epsilon[i] # epsilon[i] ~ dnorm(0,tau.epsilon) } mu ~ dnorm(0,.0001) bmale ~ dnorm(0,.0001) tau.epsilon <- pow(sigma.epsilon, -2) sigma.epsilon ~ dunif(0,100) for (j in

Hello R and BUGS users, I am writing a heirarchical model in R to send to BUGS via R2WinBUGS and I am finding it difficult to get the model to run. I seem to be having two problems. 1) I can't seem to send variables classed as factors (Month), is there a way do this? 2) Checking the Log in WinBUGS I can see that the model is Syntactically correct, but Bugs is not able to recognise the the

Appologies for cross-posting Dear R users, I am using R2WinBUGS to call WinBUGS from R. After loading data, model, and initial values I call this command res <- bugs(data = dfile, inits = list(ifile), parameters.to.save = c("beta"), model.file = mfile, working.directory = tdir, n.thin = nthin, n.chains = 1, n.iter = niterations*nthin, n.burnin = 0, DIC = F, debug = T,

Hi All I can specify whatever inits, it has no effect on the estimation. I am replicating a textbook example. The result is completely trash, having estimates of -58.7 (sd=59.3), where it should be closer to an ml estimate of 0.585 (SE=0.063). The two chains within one run are different, but with different inits for different runs, I get exactly the same chains, and I mean exactly. If I set

*Dear R-user, * I try to run Winbugs from R using bugs function in R2WinBUGS.My model works well in Winbugs except that I can't get DIC. Since I don't need DIC, when I try to run Winbugs from R , I set "DIC=FALSE". My model is as following: model { for (i in 1:N) { for(j in 1 : T ) { x[i, j] ~ dbin(p[i, j],n[i]) #Hier.prior p[i, j] ~ dbeta(alpha[i, j], beta[i, j]) alpha[i, j]

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,

I'm new to bugs, so please bear with me. Can someone tell me if the following two models are doing the same thing? The reason I ask is that with the same data, the first (based on 4 separate coeffs a1--a4) takes about 50 secs, while the second (based on a vectorized form, a[]) takes about 300. The means are about the same, though R-hat's in the second version are quite a bit better.

Hi! I am new to BUGS and running BUGS from R. I am trying to run a regression model from R, however I have this error message: Error in file(con, "wb") : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning messages: 1: In file.create(to[okay]) : cannot create file 'c:/Program Files/WinBUGS14//System/Rsrc/Registry_Rsave.odc', reason 'Permission denied' 2: In file(con,

I'm having difficulty running R2WinBugs on a setup that previously worked for me (Dell Laptop, Windows XP service pack 3, R 2.11.1, WinBugs 1.43) . When I issue the following command smds.sim <- bugs (data, inits, parameters, "SMDSbrandLoc2.bug", debug = T, n.thin = n.thin, n.chains = n.chains, n.burnin = n.burnin, n.iter = n.iter) I get the following error in R

I'm trying to call BUGS from R. But it's not working. R freezes up and BUGS gives me a strange output in the log. Just to know, BUGS is registered. The modified date on the keys file is today (Dec. 9th). It should be fully registered so that I can use it fully. And, the BUGS model is syntactically correct. Any suggestions would be very helpful. Here is my BUGS model: model {

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),

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, I am trying to use R2WinBUGS to conduct a mixed treatment comparison (MTC) analysis. On the surface, it seems to me that I am following the correct steps: (1) reading the data into R, (2) specifying initial values for the parameters in the model and (3) fitting the model to the data using the bugs() function in R2WinBUGS. However, I get the error message

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 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,

Dear friends - I'm on winXP, R 2.71 - I have with some help dveloped this multivariate normal model, which gives very plausible results in WinBUGS even without any initial values specified. However, when I then try to run the same model via the bugs function in R2WinBUGS with inits specified as inits=NULL the program stops in a dead end. So I have tried to make inits for the bugs function

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

Dear UseRs, Apologies, I tried to post to the list yeasterday, but (for some reason) part of my message got missed off. Here's a second attempt. I am having some problems using R with WinBUGS using the R2WinBUGS package. Specifically, when I try to run bugs() I get the following message.
