Usage

bugs.update.settings(n.burnin, bugs.directory)

Arguments

• Nothing, but as a side effect, the registry file BUGS/System/Rsrc/Registry.odc is modified

Details

Alter the adaptive phases in the WinBUGS updaters (in the BUGS/System/Rsrc/Registry.odc file, where BUGS is map of installed WinBUGS) so that all adaptive updating is done during the burnin stage. Otherwise WinBUGS will not report results if the burnin is less than a minimum value such as 500 or 4000 (depending on the model). Write permission on above mentioned file is needed for this!
