Have you tried the rjags package which uses the jags system? It is much more integrated into R and works quite well. It uses the same modeling language as BUGS. It is also better supported than OpenBUGS.

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 back. However, I cannot build the coda object. From what I have read "read.openbugs" should do the trick. However, I have discovered the current version of OpenBUGS (v 3.03) doesn't write any output files in spite of setting codaPkg=TRUE in the "bugs" call. "Str(openbugs.object)" reveals a large collection of elements, one of which is an array that contains the MCMC chains. Is there a function to build the coda object?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Bill Halteman
