When using jags.parallel, I get the following error: > out <- jags.parallel(win.data, inits, params, "Poisson.OD.t.test.txt", + nc, ni, nb, nt); Error in get(name, envir = envir) : invalid f...

I want to incorporate weights into the likelihood of a WINBUGS model to do what brms does with weights. The usual BUGS approaches to accomplish that for dnorm and dpois are not working for dbin. ...

I am trying to model a three-level nested linear mixed effects model in rjags (by three-level: multiple observations for multiple individuals within multiple groups). There are unique sets of indi...

I've been tasked with re-running someone else's model with updated data (I did the data update and formatting). I understand how the model works but didn't write it, and it's quite long and detaile...

I am very new statistical analysis world and have taken a recent interest in the BUGS/JAGS/STAN modelling language. Something which really surprises me is that I haven't seen any examples of new fu...

I am currently working on a meta-analysis of survival data across several clinical trials. To do this, I have code from a published analysis using the same methodology. However, when running this ...

I am new to WinBUGS and I could not get the code below to work. The model is syntactically correct (it is a hierarchical logit model with random effects), but when I click load data the error messa...

I am using the rjags R library. The function coda.samples produces an mcmc.list, for example (from example(coda.samples)): library(rjags) data(LINE) LINE$recompile() LINE.out <- coda.samples(LI...

I am new to WinBUGS/OpenBUGS and having difficulty debugging my code. Does anyone know of a list of potential error messages for BUGS models and their meanings in plain English?

I am trying to write a Winbugs/Jags model for modeling multi grain topic models (exactly this paper -> http://www.ryanmcd.com/papers/mg_lda.pdf) Here I would like to choose a different distributio...

As the title of this post says, when I try to run code and data that work fine in WinBUGS from R using BRugsFit (with coda=T), I get these errors: Error in glm.fit(x = structure(c(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1...
