Dear all, I have a question regarding using JAGS and R. My problem is that every single time I want to call JAGS from R the latter crashes (i.e. it turns pale and the Windows tells me "R has stopped working". Strangely, if there is a mistake in my jags code, this will be reported without a crash. Only when the code is right and the model should start to run, R stops working. I already

Anyone used jags.parallel in latest version of R2jags? Ubuntu Oneiric, just ran updates in R to get latest R2jags package which supposedly has added jags.parallel command to send chains to multiple cores ... but when I submit, I get: test <- jags.parallel(d, inits, param, model.file="rats.bug", n.chains=3, n.iter=2000) Error: could not find function

I define priors in jags within r using a gamma distribution. I would like to control the shape but I have problems. Any help will be usefull. From help of dgamma ___________________ The Gamma distribution with parameters shape = a and scale = s has density f(x)= 1/(s^a Gamma(a)) x^(a-1) e^-(x/s) and rate=1/scale From jags user manual ____________________ dgamma(r, mu) has a density of

Hi, all: I met "Non-conforming parameters for function %*%" problem, when I run the Jags model in R. My model is like this: model{ for(i in 1:n){ for(j in 1:t[i]){ et[i,j]<-yt[i,j]-beta0+betax*xt[i,j]+betat*t[i,j] } for(a in 1:t[i]){ for(b in 1:t[i]){ sigma[i,a,b]<-pow(rho0,abs(t[a]-t[b])) } } phi[i]<-

i am having problem running my own data. yesterday it was working just fine. today it is not. this is the code i was using as an example to follow. this code ALSO worked just fine yesterday, and is no longer working at all. i suspect it is a problem with either my computer or the software, at this point. if THIS won't even run.... something is wrong. i can assure you this isn't

Hallo! I want to use the package bayesmix. Trying the examples I had no success. The reason is, I think: > haveJAGS() [1] FALSE Have read of JAGS executable (I could not find JAGS.exe in my R directory). What is JAGS? Where can I find or download it? Karl

Hi all, I use the excellent packages rjags and cacheSweave, and unfortunately seem to have found an incompatibility between them. Below are a minimal .Rnw file and corresponding JAGS model file which illustrate the problem: *** JAGS model file; name=j.bug *** model { mu ~ dnorm(0,1.0E-5) sigma ~ dunif(0,100) for(i in 1:length(y)) { y[i] ~ dnorm(mu,sigma) } } *** *** .Rnw

May I request that Dirk's package for jags be added to the CRAN archives for Debian and Ubuntu? Installing the rjags package for R requires specific versions of jags to be present on the system. The current version of rjags requires jags version 2.2.0 or later but the version on the Ubuntu archives at Canonical (i.e. not the CRAN archives) is 2.1.0-2 I can always install Dirk's package

Has anybody had issues running MCMC (either BUGS or JAGS) on data sets of this magnitude (ie 30k x 20-30). I've been trying to run a hierarchical random effects model on expression data but R completely stalls out on jobs run on 32bit R on our server (doesn't respond...then eventually crashes out with an exception fault). Would using 64bit R help with JAGS? (As far as I know there's

There is a thread on this topic already: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/Rhelp10/2010-August/250934.html I'm rather mystified by a similar problem and wondering whether I've overlooked something obvious. I'm running with latest versions of R and all packages, and latest version of JAGS running under Windows 7. Here's the problem. I have some source code. It's given below -

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).

Could anyone give me some clues as to the best way to debug this error message? I think it is from the passing of variables back to R from the jags function which does Bayesian fitting. The curious part for me is that the error messages seem random, yet the input data are always the same. Any suggestions most welcome. Thanks J Compiling model graph Resolving undeclared variables

Hi, I'm trying to generate a GLMM for Y following a negative binomial distribution. The first step I'm taking as a beginner in the use of R2Jags is to generate a GLM for Y following a Poisson distribution (I heard it's good in order to get used to the coding language), so here I am and here I face the first error message for which I can't find any mistake of spelling. Could you

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.

Frank (or anyone else), can you offer any comments comparing runjags, R2jags, rjags ? I couldn't find any vignettes, nothing except a brief mention on Task Views.

Hello, I am trying to install rjags on R 3.0.0 that is running on CentOS 6.4. Jags is installed and seems to be working correctly. I get the following error when trying to install from source or CRAN, configure: error: "Problem with header file /usr/include/JAGS/Console.h " See `config.log' for more details JAGS was intalled with an rpm. Does not look like the rpm included

Ubuntu R users, Early this month, version 3.0 of JAGS was released on its Sourceforge page. Dirk Eddelbuettel and I quickly rolled up packages for Debian and Ubuntu, respectively. If you are an Ubuntu user who utilizes my Launchpad PPA for your R related .deb files, JAGS was updated automatically. The downside to this is that JAGS 3.0 is not compatible with the R package rjags, also found

I know this has been covered before but I have read all the posts on this subject but I still cannot resolve it. I tried to install rjags on a 64bit Fedora 17 and I got this error message Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'rjags', details: call: dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) error: unable to load shared object '/usr/lib64/R/library/rjags/libs/rjags.so':

Hi, With the sid package jags (2.0.0-1) and r-base-core (2.11.0-1), I cannot install package rjags anymore (this used to work at some point; can't recall exactly at what R/JAGS versions): ---<--------------------cut here---------------start------------------->--- R> install.packages("rjags", configure.args="--with-jags-modules=/usr/lib/JAGS/modules-2.0.0")

Hello. I am running a state space model (the example from Marc kery's Bayesian population analysis using WinBUGS ) The code runs fine for the examle as shown in the book. However I played around and changed the nodes monitored to the latent variable z I get the following error- even though it is monitored in the code: Initializing model
