testjags

testJAGS

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

User-friendly interface utilities for MCMC models via
Just Another Gibbs Sampler (JAGS), facilitating the use of parallel
(or distributed) processors for multiple chains, automated control
of convergence and sample length diagnostics, and evaluation of the
performance of a model using drop-k validation or against simulated
data. Template model specifications can be generated using a standard
lme4-style formula interface to assist users less familiar with the
BUGS syntax.  A JAGS extension module provides additional distributions
including the Pareto family of distributions, the DuMouchel prior and
the half-Cauchy prior.

testjags function

<dl><dt>jags</dt>
<dd>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 is required.</dd>
<dt>silent</dt>
<dd>should on-screen feedback be suppressed? Default FALSE.</dd></dl>
