I don't really have time to study the particulars of your proposal but maybe you can consider to just 'trust us' when we say that -- you really do want a package -- others have done packages for user-facing MCMC / Gibbs (cf Whit's rcppbugs) -- you can still allow the user to putz around ad-hoc with sourceCpp. Dirk -- http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | e...@debian.org _______________________________________________ Rcpp-devel mailing list Rcpp-devel@lists.r-forge.r-project.org https://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rcpp-devel
