similar to: R2WinBUGS results not different with different runs

After running a model for a while and seeing that it did not converge yet, how can I continue to run, ie not starting anew, the model? I know if I manually/interactively use winbugs, this is possible anytime, but how can I do this in r2winbugs, so that my existing sim$sims.array and other stuff in the object that bugs() returns gets extended? Thanks Toby

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,

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 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

Greetings - I run a multi-pro server box (GNU/Linux), on which I've installed winBUGS under wine. Works fine, and plays nice with r2WinBUGS, provided everything is done through a graphical front-end (either by working from console, or using a virtual desktop via VNC or equivalent). However, I'm wondering if there is a way to use R2winBUGS and winBUGS such that winBUGS does not spawn

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 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]

Dear R-help, I'm using the R2WinBUGS package and getting an error message: Error in file(file, "r") : unable to open connection In addition: Warning message: cannot open file 'codaIndex.txt', reason 'No such file or directory' I'm using R 2.2.1 and WinBUGS 1.4.1 on a windows machine (XP). My R code and WinBUGS code is given below.

Dear all, I tried to run WinBUGS model in R by using package R2WinBUGS, but I failed because of the massage : cannot calculate DIC for model in log file of WinBUGS14. In fact, the model works in WinBUGS and I can get summaries of the model, such as density, stats..., except DIC , because DIC may not be appropriate in this kind of model due to some reasons(according to the manual of WinBUGS14),

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

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

This weekend I noticed that my R2WinBUGS connection was no longer working on my Windows computer at work AND my Ubuntu linux computer at home. As soon as WinBUGS opens, the message reads Index Out Of Range. I have un-installed and re-installed R on both computers and the problem remains the same. At first I thought it was the new version of R, but I was able to overcome the problem (on Windows

Hi R-Help! I am trying to use R2WinBUGS but I get the following error message in WinBUGS (and there must be something wrong with my R statement as I tried it directly in WinBUGS and it worked): display(log) check(C:/Documents and Settings/Daikon/Roche/pop_model.txt) model is syntactically correct data(C:/Documents and Settings/Daikon/Roche/data.txt) expected key word structure compile(7) ...(and

Hi all, I did some analysis using package R2WinBUGS to call WinBUGS. I set the iterations to 50000 (fairly a large number, I think), but after the program was done, the effective posterior samples contained only 7 draws. I don't know why. By the way, I checked posterior sample size by using bugsobj$n.sims. And, for my previous practice with WinBUGS/R2WinBUGS, no such strange thing happend.

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

Dear R users, Can anyone tell me why I might get the error message "the array index is greater than the upper bound for t" in WinBUGS ? t is a vector I have defined. I have checked repeatedly that the array index for t does match with the upper bound till which the loop is run. I am facing this problem while calling the R2WinBUGS package and both in just WinBUGS as

For some purpose, I need to transfer a NAs array to WinBugs through R2WinBugs, But I constantly got an error message:"'type' must be "real" for this format". Here is my data to transfer: x = matrix(data=NA,nrow=3,ncol=3) x = as.array(x) data <- list ("x") if I add a line to above setting, then I can pass R2WinBugs: x[1,1] = 0 If I manually input the

Hello, I have problem running WinBUGS from R. The following example works in WinBUGS but it does not work in R through package R2WinBUGS. Does anyone know what the problem is? x <- c(0.2, 1.1, 1, 2.2, 2.5, 2.9, 2.9, 3.6, 3.8, 0.6, 1, 2, 2.4, 2.6, 2.8, 3.2, 3.9, 3.5) y <- c(0.5, 1.3, 0.1, 0.7, -0.4, 0.5, -0.9, -0.3, -0.3, 0.6, 0.4, 0.9, -0.1, -0.4, -0.5, -0.2, 0.3, -1.5) eco <- c(1, 3,

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....)

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(...,
