similar to: Using WinBUGS from R: A Multi-Way Array Problem

I try to do a test for dirichlet process for Multivariate normal, but Winbugs always says "expected multivariate node", does that mean I miss something at initialization? I will really appreciate the help to solve this problem Here is the R code, and Winbugs code. model { for(i in 1:N){ y[i,1:2] ~ dmnorm(mu[i,],tau[i,,]) S[i] ~ dcat(pi[]) mu[i,1:2] <- mu.star[S[i],]

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

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

Hello everyone, I need some help regarding calling WinBUGS from R. I have a model for WinBUGS and an R code which calls WinBUGS. On running the code I am being shown the 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

Hi folks, I'm forwarding this to the list as my email to nita was about getting her code to the list. Additionally, I'm running Linux and have no experience with WinBUGS.

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

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,

Hi, I'm having trouble running a script within winbugs when calling winbugs from R. Here are a few lines from the winbugs log: display(log) check(C:\DOCUME~1\michael\LOCALS~1\Temp\RtmpjKnHMu\mm_TO_bugs9bc21e.txt) cannot open C:\DOCUME~1\michael\LOCALS~1\Temp\RtmpjKnHMu\mm_TO_bugs9bc21e.txt data(C:/DOCUME~1/michael/LOCALS~1/Temp/RtmpjKnHMu/data.txt) command #Bugs:data cannot be executed (is

Hi, I am very new to R and Winbugs. I have been provided with a code that runs Winbugs from R. The code runs 60 different models and I would like to either save the Winbugs log file for each of these or reproduce the WinBugs plots which show convergence over the iterations.I can do this by using Debug=true and saving manually each time but obviously this is very time consuming. Many thanks Ruth

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 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 Users, I am new to both of things, so do not blame me too much... I am busy with semiparametric regression and use WinBUGS to sample posteriors. The code to call Winbugs is as follows: data <- list("y","X","n","m") #My variables inits.beta <- rep(0,K) inits.beta0 <- 0 inits <-

Dear all I used R2WinBUGS package's bugs() function to generate MCMC results. Then I tried to save the simulation draws in R, using read.bugs() function. Here is a simple test: ###################### library(coda) library(R2WinBUGS) #fake some data to test beta0=1 beta1=1.5 beta2=-1 beta3=2 N=200 x1=rnorm(N, mean=0,sd=1) x2=rnorm(N, mean=0,sd=1) x3=rnorm(N, mean=0,sd=1) lambda2= exp(beta0+

I have a problem with Winbugs. The code is executed perfectly, the only problem is that the stats option isn't available (grey color) and i don't know how to make it work. Maybe if i run the winbugs throug R i will be able to get stats results? -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Winbugs-tp4451373p4451373.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at

Dear All: Do you have any experience on calling winbugs in R enviorment? I uploaded R2winbgus, pktools, BRugs, ect. in order to call winbugs. In the end, I try to use bugs(). The error message still displays that bugs() can not find. Do you have any similar issue? If so, could you give your advice? Many Thanks! Xin [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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).

Good afternoon sir, i'm a student in Indonesia who study technology management, i need to review the software i'v been develop, i was told to use bayesian SEM because i don't have large sample. i don't know much about statistics but i try to make a code via winbugs.. and a i got a problem. here i attach my winbugs code and my model. could you hep me to find what's wrong with my

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

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.
