Greetings, I used latex type code in my Rd files. The pdf version using R CMD Rd2dvi --output=PKtools.pdf --pdf --title="PKtools" PKtools man came out quite nice. However, my current HTML version does not tex the latex so there is latex code in the files and looks bad. example problem code: AIC$_c$ or \begin{itemize} \item NLME: \begin{itemize} \item population level:

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

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 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.

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 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

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, 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,

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

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

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

When I use the 'bugs' function from R, WinBUGS runs correctly, but R freezes. The only way to use R after this is to stop calculations (without my file that documents the calculation). However, I want to save the output in R so I can use it in further models. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? -- View this message in context:

I'm back! I've just learned that, on a fully updated Fedora Core Linux5 sytem, the working solution to access Winbugs under wine via the R package "rbugs" no longer works. Here was my last post on this topic (with the formerly working solution) from January. http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/68497.html Currently, what happens is that WinBUGS starts up, but just

Hello, I recently changed from Win XP to Mac OS X (10.5.1). Is there a way to run Bugs (in any version) in R (R version 2.6.0 (2007-10-03)) on this platform? Fredrik

Hi all, I observed that the 'link' between R and BUGS (winBugs/linBugs) has totally disappeared. I'm wondering what package can be use to run bayesian models specified using the BUGS language in R (specifically under Linux). Is there any other option besides JAGS ?

Hello! I am working on a package where Enhances field seems to be a plausible option. When I add package, say coda, to this field, I get the following warning with recent R-devel: ---- * checking for working latex ...

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),

To All, I am using the BRugs package. In running the meta file BRugsFit() with a syntactically correct model .txt file, I see the message: Error in FUN(X[[1]], ...) : .C(..): 'type' must be "real" for this format I haven't found information on this kind of error either here or on the OpenBUGS/WinBUGS/BRugs bulletin boards. If there is a better place to post this

Dear Sir/Madam, I am currently doing a project which need to use Bayesian Model. I need to use WINBUGS to do MCMC calculation, and therefore I need to between R and WINBUGS. I tried to submitted install.packages("R2WinBUGS") from R, but the system says, "Warning: unable to access index for repository...". I am not sure what happened with it. Could anyone tell me

Dear all, I want to run two winBugs process through R (by R2WinBUGS package). The first WinBUGS process can successfully perform under R.
