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),

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

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.

Hi All: I had a basic question to ask. I am running R2WinBUGS so that I could automate the running of my model using 1000 simulated datasets. Below is the code I am using. The only problem I am having is the bugs output that comes out shows my parameters as nos with 1 decimal place after. I would want to have the parameters with 5 places after decimal. How would I specify that in my code for

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,

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

Hello, I am trying to use R2WinBUGS to conduct a mixed treatment comparison (MTC) analysis. On the surface, it seems to me that I am following the correct steps: (1) reading the data into R, (2) specifying initial values for the parameters in the model and (3) fitting the model to the data using the bugs() function in R2WinBUGS. However, I get the error message

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

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 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),
