similar to: R2WinBUGS stopping execution

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,

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

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

Hi All, I am trying to figure out how to use R-Coda with the output from OpenBugs. I have installed and loaded the packages BRugs and R2WinBUGS. I have successfully run a simple Bayes model in WinBUGS using R2WinBUGS' "bugs" and have used "read.bugs" to build the coda object. I can successfully switch to OpenBugs and run the same model and get the basic summary

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

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

Hi, I have a strange behaviour of openBUGS and WinBUGS when I start them from R. Version: R: 2.10.1 openBUGS: 3.07 WinBUGS: 1.43 R2WinBUGS: 2.1-16 BRugs: 0.5-3 I have a model and data without initial start values. If I use the stand alone versions of openBUGS and WinBUGS I don't have any problems and I get what I want. If I use function bugs() from R2WinBUGS- resp. BRugs-Library then

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.

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.

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

Hello. In this post: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/Rhelp10/2010-March/233815.html Uwe Ligges suggests using BRugs rather than R2WinBUGS under windows. He also notes that it is not in the main CRAN repository, but it is in "extras" which is a default repository under windows. I have OpenBUGS 3.1.0 (the latest that has a native Linux version which is no longer called linBUGS)

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

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

When I use the 'bugs' function from R, WinBUGS runs correctly, but R freezes. The only way to use R after this is to stop calculations (without my file that documents the calculation). However, I want to save the output in R so I can use it in further models. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? -- View this message in context:

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),

Hello, I recently changed from Win XP to Mac OS X (10.5.1). Is there a way to run Bugs (in any version) in R (R version 2.6.0 (2007-10-03)) on this platform? Fredrik

I'm trying to understand how a latent state matrix is updated by the MCMC iterations in a WinBUGS model, using the package R2WinBUGS and an example from Kery and Schaub's (2012) book, "Bayesian Population Analysis Using WinBUGS". The example I'm using is 7.3.1. from a chapter on the Cormack-Jolly-Seber model. Some excerpted code is included at the end of this message;

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
