I did run the same model in WinBUGS, letting WinBUGS generate initials but now it gives me the error 'data value already given to this quantitiy' using a sample dataset and the cursor blinks in the highlighted section.
list(NAUSEA=c(1,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,0,1,1,0),SITEID=c(1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,2), n.sites=2, n.samples=12) Any thoughts? Whats the listserv for WinBUGS error?
