Hello, I am trying, and failing, to do the birats example from the WinBugs manual with R2Winbugs.
I can manage the rats example OK. Also, I can manage birats in WinBugs. Here is the code I am running, the .bug program, and the error message. Any help would be gratefully received. Thank you, Mike library(R2WinBUGS) data = list(x = c(8.0, 15.0, 22.0, 29.0, 36.0), N = 30, T = 5, Omega = structure(.Data = c(200, 0, 0, 0.2), .Dim = c(2, 2)), mean = c(0,0), prec = structure(.Data = c(1.0E-6, 0, 0, 1.0E-6), .Dim = c(2, 2)), Y = structure( .Data = c(151, 199, 246, 283, 320, 145, 199, 249, 293, 354, 147, 214, 263, 312, 328, 155, 200, 237, 272, 297, 135, 188, 230, 280, 323, 159, 210, 252, 298, 331, 141, 189, 231, 275, 305, 159, 201, 248, 297, 338, 177, 236, 285, 350, 376, 134, 182, 220, 260, 296, 160, 208, 261, 313, 352, 143, 188, 220, 273, 314, 154, 200, 244, 289, 325, 171, 221, 270, 326, 358, 163, 216, 242, 281, 312, 160, 207, 248, 288, 324, 142, 187, 234, 280, 316, 156, 203, 243, 283, 317, 157, 212, 259, 307, 336, 152, 203, 246, 286, 321, 154, 205, 253, 298, 334, 139, 190, 225, 267, 302, 146, 191, 229, 272, 302, 157, 211, 250, 285, 323, 132, 185, 237, 286, 331, 160, 207, 257, 303, 345, 169, 216, 261, 295, 333, 157, 205, 248, 289, 316, 137, 180, 219, 258, 291, 153, 200, 244, 286, 324), .Dim = c(30,5))) inits <- list(mu.beta = c(0,0), tauC = 1, beta = structure( .Data = c(100,6,100,6,100,6,100,6,100,6, 100,6,100,6,100,6,100,6,100,6, 100,6,100,6,100,6,100,6,100,6, 100,6,100,6,100,6,100,6,100,6, 100,6,100,6,100,6,100,6,100,6, 100,6,100,6,100,6,100,6,100,6), .Dim = c(30, 2)), R = structure(.Data = c(1,0,0,1), .Dim = c(2, 2))) names(inits) inits$R is.matrix(inits$beta) is.matrix(inits$R) mhbirats = bugs(data, inits, model.file = "birats.bug", parameters.to.save = c("beta", "R", "tauC", "mu.beta"), n.chains = 1, n.iter=10000, n.burnin=1000, n.thin=1, bugs.directory = "c:/Program Files/WinBUGS14/", debug = TRUE) ### birats example from winbugs model { for( i in 1 : N ) { beta[i , 1:2] ~ dmnorm(mu.beta[], R[ , ]) for( j in 1 : T ) { Y[i , j] ~ dnorm(mu[i , j], tauC) mu[i , j] <- beta[i , 1] + beta[i , 2] * x[j] } } mu.beta[1:2] ~ dmnorm(mean[],prec[ , ]) R[1:2 , 1:2] ~ dwish(Omega[ , ], 2) tauC ~ dgamma(0.001, 0.001) sigma <- 1 / sqrt(tauC) } ### the error message Error in bugs(data, inits, model.file = "birats.bug", parameters.to.save = c("beta", : Number of initialized chains (length(inits)) != n.chains -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/birats-example-with-R2WinBugs-tp974890p974890.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
