similar to: R2WinBUGS question from beginner

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. Error in FUN(X[[1L]], ...) : .C(..): 'type' must be "real" for this format To

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

Hi all, I am having problems using the R2Winbugs function When I perform an analysis directly in Winbugs I can specify that the first 'n' iterations are to be done using an 'adaptive' phase. After this phase the markov chain seems to mix a lot better. I don't seem to be able to specify R2winbugs to carry out this adaptive phase, I can just specify the burnin length but

Hi All I dont know if anyone else has noticed the same thing, but with 2 subsequent runs of the same syntax, I am getting exactly the same results. I was expecting that results differ slighlty, say in the 4th or 5th decimal place. Is this a specialty with R2WinBUGS? Does it have something to do with the seed value? Isnt the seed value reset everytime I restart winbugs? Thanks Toby

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

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 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).

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

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 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

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

#======== This mail is forwarded from Mark Leeds (markleeds at verizon.net) who is experiencing troubles sending to the list himself. #======== Hi: ?I went through Soren Buhl's documentation for installing and running R2WinBUGS in linux. Thank you Soren for the nice documentation. I installed wine and I think it worked because I was able to get a winbugs pop up screen to open. I also

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.

*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 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(...,

Dear UseRs, 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.

I am generating 1000 replicate data sets in R, each data set is then analyzed with WinBUGS in batch mode using R2WinBUGS. Unfortunately, occasionally some data sets lead WinBUGS to open a "trap" window; and the simulations are interrupted as result of the message. Is there any ways to set R2WinBUGS so that it would ignore the trap message and proceed with the simulations? Cheers

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
