Frank (or anyone else), can you offer any comments comparing runjags, R2jags, rjags ?

I couldn't find any vignettes, nothing except a brief mention on Task Views.

    Have you tried the rjags package which uses the jags system?  It is
    much more integrated into R and works quite well.  It uses the same
    modeling language as BUGS.  It is also better supported than OpenBUGS.

        Hi All,

         I am trying to figure out how to use R-Coda with the output
        from OpenBugs. I have installed and loaded the packages BRugs
        and R2WinBUGS.  I have successfully run a simple Bayes model in
        WinBUGS using R2WinBUGS' "bugs" and have used "read.bugs" to
        build the coda object.  I can successfully switch to OpenBugs
        and run the same model and get the basic summary back.  However,
        I cannot build the coda object.  From what I have read
        "read.openbugs" should do the trick.  However, I have discovered
        the current version of OpenBUGS (v 3.03) doesn't write any
        output files in spite of setting codaPkg=TRUE in the "bugs"
        call.  "Str(openbugs.object)" reveals a large collection of
        elements, one of which is an array that contains the MCMC
        chains.  Is there a function to build the coda object?

        Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

        Bill Halteman
