bugs.script {R2WinBUGS}R Documentation

Writes script for running WinBUGS

Description

Write file ‘script.txt’ for WinBUGS to read - intended for internal use

Usage

bugs.script(parameters.to.save, n.chains, n.iter, n.burnin, n.thin,
    model.file, debug=FALSE, is.inits, bin, DIC=FALSE,
    useWINE=.Platform$OS.type != "windows", newWINE=TRUE, WINEPATH=NULL, 
    bugs.seed=NULL, summary.only=FALSE, save.history=TRUE, 
    bugs.data.file, bugs.inits.files)

Arguments

parameters.to.save parameters that should be monitored
n.chains number of Markov chains
n.iter number of total iterations (including burn in)
n.burnin length of burn in
n.thin size of thinning parameter
model.file file containing the model written in WinBUGS code
debug if FALSE, WinBUGS is closed automatically, otherwise WinBUGS remains open for further investigation
is.inits logical; whether initial values are given by the user (TRUE) or have to be generated by WinBUGS
bin number of iterations between saving of results
DIC logical; if TRUE, compute deviance, pD, and DIC automatically in WinBUGS
useWINE as in bugs meta function
newWINE as in bugs meta function
WINEPATH as in bugs meta function
bugs.seed random seed for WinBUGS (default is no seed)
summary.only If TRUE, only a parameter summary for very quick analyses is given, temporary created files are not removed in that case.
save.history If TRUE (the default), trace plots are generated at the end.
bugs.data.file character name of the data file
bugs.inits.files character vector of names of the inits files

Value

Nothing, but as a side effect, the script file ‘script.txt’ is written
