Hi all. Sorry for any confusion. At one point, close to a year ago I
think, I put in the effort to get the bugs() function in R to work with
OpneBUGS. But at the time, I couldn't get OpenBUGS to do much. After
some effort I got it to work on some simple examples but I couldn't get
it to

Uwe,
Does coda put parameters into arrays based on their names? I had the
impression that coda just considered parameters as one very long vector
(as in the summary output inside the Bugs window), hence it would not
make those nice graphs on the right side of the output from plot()
applied
Thanks, Uwe
that clears up why I can't make R2WinBUGs work with OpenBUGS and WinBUGS1.5 :)
Both work pretty good with Wine in a GUI. I noticed that when I tried
rbugs, it does succeed in starting WinBUGS GUI, but then nothing
happens. I'll get WinBUGS1.4 and see what happens.
In the meanwhile,

Hello!
Re R packages:
- R2WinBUGS is compatible with WinBUGS-1.4.x only, its newest version
can speak with WinBUGS under wine thanks to user contributions. But it
still depends on WinBUGS-1.4.x, hence Windows only (considering wine as
Windows).
However Andrew Gelman, has added also
Thanks! Let me ask this question again. Clearly, if you experts
can't make R talk to WinBUGS, then I can't either. So, If bugs()
doesn't work, What is the next best thing?
With wine, I can run OpenBUGS and WinBUGS, but I cannot send jobs from
R to a BUGS program (still trying, some people say
Before I forget, found the working recipe for rbugs. My mistake
before was not
realzing that the n.iter value is total iterations, including burnin,
and so by setting
n.iter=1000 and n.burnin=1000, I was leaving 0 iterations for the updates.

Do you mean to say that you have actually made OpenBUGS run with
R2WinBUGS in Linux?
No, I did not say this.
Gelman's page seems to state that OpenBUGS support is brought in from
BRugs, which is still Windows-only.
Well, Gelman changed his site a bit. Few days (weeks?)

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.
