bugs.script: 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, over.relax = FALSE)

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
over.relax
If TRUE, over-relaxed form of MCMC is used if available from WinBUGS.

Value

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