similar to: R2WinBUGS is broken

Dear R user: I am using R2WinBUGs to call WinBUGS from R. But I have some problems in using either the option bugs.seed and summary.only in the function bugs. Here are the programs and error messages. It appears that if I don't use either option, the program runs fine. I am using R2.5.1 and WinBUGs14. The program is not running: > schools.sim <- bugs(data, inits,

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

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,

Dear R users, I've found bugs.R : the functions for running WinBUGs from R that is writen by Dr. Andrew Gelman who is a professor from Columbia University. The bugs.R would be very useful for me, and I think many of you know it as well. I followed the instuctions on Dr. Gelman's web to install all of documents that bugs.R needs, but when I try to run the school example the web posted in

Dear all, I had trouble in setting up WinBUGS on my Mac, and I'm seeking for some help here. I followed the instruction by Tom Palmer here: http://www.ruudwetzels.com/MacBUGS/winbugsonmacosx.pdf I installed Darwine 1.1.21, and downloaded WinBUGS14. However, when I double-clicked the WinBUGS14.exe file, a black-box dialog window poped up, and I got error message in the Wine log as

R2WinBUGS users, I'm getting the error message "monitor could not be set" when I try to monitor (and output to R) a response variable that includes missing data (NAs)...ie.e imputing for y. Setting monitors for other parameters works OK and running the R-generated WinBUGS script file in WinBUGS, also works OK. Below is my R code and the log.txt file output by R2WinBUGS. As I want to

Hi, I??m trying to use the Win2BUGS package from R and I have a similar problem that reurns with the message: Error in FUN(X[[1]], ...) : symbol print-name too long But, there is no stray ` character in the file ( Sugestions given by: Duncan Temple Lang <duncan> Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2005 07:31:08 -0700 ) The progam in R is: library(R2WinBUGS) library(rbugs) dat <-

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 am trying to run your SCHOOLS example as following and I get an error message stated that : Error: could not find function "bugs" Would you please help me since I would like to run some WINBUG programs from your R by reading external data and I am new to R? Do I missing some function? Should I install some extra files? Thanks a lot in advance for your help!! > schools

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 am trying to do run the following model saved in "C:/bugs/sus.bug" model { for (i in 1:n){ y[i] ~ dpois(lamdba[i]) log(lambda[i]) <- mu+bmale[male[i]]+bschn[schn[i]]+epsilon[i] # epsilon[i] ~ dnorm(0,tau.epsilon) } mu ~ dnorm(0,.0001) bmale ~ dnorm(0,.0001) tau.epsilon <- pow(sigma.epsilon, -2) sigma.epsilon ~ dunif(0,100) for (j in

Hi All I can specify whatever inits, it has no effect on the estimation. I am replicating a textbook example. The result is completely trash, having estimates of -58.7 (sd=59.3), where it should be closer to an ml estimate of 0.585 (SE=0.063). The two chains within one run are different, but with different inits for different runs, I get exactly the same chains, and I mean exactly. If I set

Hello list, I?ve been trying to get OpenBUGS running on my mac using the wine emulator. I can run Openbugs just fine by doing: wine ~/OpenBUGS312/OpenBUGS.exe In the terminal, so OpenBUGS works. When I try to run the schools example using rbugs(), the OpenBUGS process starts in wine, but it just sits there, no log, no script, no output of any sort. The rbugs () call makes the init,

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 While I'm not an R expert, I have used R on Windows XP. Now I've moved to Ubuntu (Intrepid), and I'm trying to configure R to work with the Gelman and Hill _Data Analysis Using Regression and Multilevel/Hierarchical Models_. So far, it's not working. I start by following the instructions for installing arm and BRugs at

Hi all, I used both OpenBugs and R function bugs{R2WinBUGS} to run a linear mixed effects model based on the same data set and initial values. I got the same summary statistics but different posterior samples. However, if I order these two sets of samples, one is generated from OpenBugs and the other is generated from R, they turn to be the same. And the samples from R do not have any

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

Hello, I'm running R version 3.4.2 on Windows. I have a program written in BUGS which I can successfully run from the R2WinBUGS package. I would also like to try and use the same package to use OpenBUGS (version 3.2.3) rather than WinBUGS. The initial output looks ok (shown below), but the OpenBUGS executable is never started. Instead I see a process running called ?BugsHelper.exe *32? in

Apologies if this isn't acceptable for the general help list. I'm running OpenBUGS model via the R2WinBUGS package interface, under Windows. Is it possible to terminate running models, short of using the Windows Task Manager to forcibly exit the program? Regards, Richie.

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),
