similar to: WinBUGS with R

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

-----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 Sir I am very new user of R for the research project on multilevel logistic regression. There is confusion about bugs() function in R and BUGS software. Is there any relation between these two? Is there any comprehensive package for Multilevel Logistic modelling in R? Please guide in this regard. Thank You RAZA --------------------------------- Boardwalk for

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

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

Appologies for cross-posting Dear R users, I am using R2WinBUGS to call WinBUGS from R. After loading data, model, and initial values I call this command res <- bugs(data = dfile, inits = list(ifile), parameters.to.save = c("beta"), model.file = mfile, working.directory = tdir, n.thin = nthin, n.chains = 1, n.iter = niterations*nthin, n.burnin = 0, DIC = F, debug = T,

Dear Users, I am new to both of things, so do not blame me too much... I am busy with semiparametric regression and use WinBUGS to sample posteriors. The code to call Winbugs is as follows: data <- list("y","X","n","m") #My variables inits.beta <- rep(0,K) inits.beta0 <- 0 inits <-

Dear all, I want to run two winBugs process through R (by R2WinBUGS package). The first WinBUGS process can successfully perform under R. The error message appears while I put the code to run for the second WinBUGS. The error message: Error in file(file, ifelse(append, "a", "w")) : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In file(file, ifelse(append,

Dear all I used R2WinBUGS package's bugs() function to generate MCMC results. Then I tried to save the simulation draws in R, using read.bugs() function. Here is a simple test: ###################### library(coda) library(R2WinBUGS) #fake some data to test beta0=1 beta1=1.5 beta2=-1 beta3=2 N=200 x1=rnorm(N, mean=0,sd=1) x2=rnorm(N, mean=0,sd=1) x3=rnorm(N, mean=0,sd=1) lambda2= exp(beta0+

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 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

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

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

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

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.

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-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). My R code and WinBUGS code is given below.

Dear all, I'm calling Winbugs (1.4.3) through R2WinBugs (2.1-18 coda_0.14-7) to fit a switching random walk model, but come up with an instant trap with the log only displaying 'check('. I will paste the trap with session info below; I'd be very grateful for any ideas. Couple of leads: 1. I presume the problem relates to the r package itself or the way I call bugs(), because I

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
