similar to: bug in R2WinBUGS

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

Dear R users I have been encountering an error (in the Winbugs window: Blackbox - index out of range ..... ). So to me it seems R2WinBUGS is not linking up well with the new R version since the same model runs well under r-2.9.2. So is my assumption correct or am I doing something wrong. The data I used and the code are in the help of R2WinBUGS (?bugs). Regards, -- Luwis Diya, Leuven

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.

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

Dear R-users, I am trying to use the following code to reproduce results from Prof. Gelman's book, but have the listed error for R2WinBUGS version (the openbugs version is good). I am using R-2.6.1 on windows XP, and all the R packages are most current ones. schools.bug can be found at http://www.stat.columbia.edu/~gelman/bugsR/runningbugs.html . Can anyone help me to figure out what's

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

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

I have an array from an mcmc simulation and I'd like to try and use the monitor function in R2WinBUGS. The R2WinBUGS package is in the search path and when I try help(monitor) the help page appears for the function. But, when I try and use it the following happens: > monitor(sims) Error: couldn't find function "monitor" I've searched the archives but have not seen any

Hi! I am new to BUGS and running BUGS from R. I am trying to run a regression model from R, however I have this 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 Files/WinBUGS14//System/Rsrc/Registry_Rsave.odc', reason 'Permission denied' 2: In file(con,

I'm having difficulty running R2WinBugs on a setup that previously worked for me (Dell Laptop, Windows XP service pack 3, R 2.11.1, WinBugs 1.43) . When I issue the following command smds.sim <- bugs (data, inits, parameters, "SMDSbrandLoc2.bug", debug = T, n.thin = n.thin, n.chains = n.chains, n.burnin = n.burnin, n.iter = n.iter) I get the following error in R

Hello, I have problem running WinBUGS from R. The following example works in WinBUGS but it does not work in R through package R2WinBUGS. Does anyone know what the problem is? x <- c(0.2, 1.1, 1, 2.2, 2.5, 2.9, 2.9, 3.6, 3.8, 0.6, 1, 2, 2.4, 2.6, 2.8, 3.2, 3.9, 3.5) y <- c(0.5, 1.3, 0.1, 0.7, -0.4, 0.5, -0.9, -0.3, -0.3, 0.6, 0.4, 0.9, -0.1, -0.4, -0.5, -0.2, 0.3, -1.5) eco <- c(1, 3,

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

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'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),

I am trying to run WinBUGS 1.4 from the Ubuntu 6.10 Linux distribution. I am using the R2WinBUGS packages with the source file listed below. WinBUGS appears to run properly, but I get the following message after WinBUGS starts in WINE. Does anyone know what may be causing this error and what the correction may be? Thanks ERROR MESSAGE: fixme:ole:GetHGlobalFromILockBytes cbSize is 13824

Dear R users: I was trying to fit a HMM with mixture of Gaussian into the dataset, and I tried to implement it by R2Winbugs. But I got the following errer. * Error in FUN(X[[1L]], ...) : .C(..): 'type' must be "real" for this format* Does anybody know what's the problem? Does R2Winbugs accept some matrix as inits? I would really appreciate your help. Thank you very much.

*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]

After running a model for a while and seeing that it did not converge yet, how can I continue to run, ie not starting anew, the model? I know if I manually/interactively use winbugs, this is possible anytime, but how can I do this in r2winbugs, so that my existing sim$sims.array and other stuff in the object that bugs() returns gets extended? Thanks Toby

Dear, I am running the following R code using the R2WINBUGS package. fit<-bugs( model.file=BUGScode, data=data, inits = list(geninits1,geninits2), parameters.to.save=keepers, n.chains=nchains, n.iter=runs, n.burnin=burn, n.thin=nthin, bugs.directory="C:/Program Files/WinBUGS14" ) I put this code and the corresponding WINBUGS code "BUGScode" in the same folder

Dear R users, Can anyone tell me why I might get the error message "the array index is greater than the upper bound for t" in WinBUGS ? t is a vector I have defined. I have checked repeatedly that the array index for t does match with the upper bound till which the loop is run. I am facing this problem while calling the R2WinBUGS package and both in just WinBUGS as
