testjags

testJAGS

the system call or path for activating JAGS.  Default calls findjags() to attempt to locate JAGS on your system automatically.  In unix the system call should always be 'jags', in Windows a path to the JAGS executable or the enclosing /bin or /JAGS folder

jags

should on-screen feedback be suppressed?  Default FALSE.

silent

Test the users system to determine the operating system, version of R installed, and version of JAGS installed.  Some information is collected from other functions such as .platform and Sys.info.  Used by the run.jags function.

methods

A set of functions to allow any user specified model to be run in JAGS from within R, returning the MCMC output as R objects.  Includes functions to read external WinBUGS type textfiles, and allows several ways of automatically specifying model data from existing R objects or R functions.  Also includes functions to automatically calculate model run length, autocorrealtion and Gelman Rubin statistic diagnostics for all models to simplify the process of checking chain convergence.  Designed for maximum compatibility with WinBUGS syntax, although minor modification to existing .bug files will be required.  Requires Just Another Gibbs Sampler (JAGS) for UNIX, LINUX, Mac or Windows to be installed, see:  http://www-fis.iarc.fr/~martyn/software/jags/.
