First of all excuse me for reviving this very old thread - if it is the preferred way in this forum/ mailinglist, I will start a new one instead. I'm a computational biologist programming in C++ and I'm actually not familiar with R. But I wrote a small program to analyse Win-/OpenBugs output (CODA) according to this paper: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2004.08.011 . As I'm working with Mac and Linux (Kubuntu 9.10 „Karmic Koala“ at the moment) and WINbugs only runs on Windows natively (as it's name says), I want to switch to JAGS instead. Now I have the problem to change the WinBugs formatted model and data into JAGS/R formatted ones, which is quite difficult without knowing the actual differences between R and S(-PLUS) programming languages. (The latter one seems to be the basis of WinBugs' format.) I'm not completely sure whether "bugs2jags" can be applied to this case, but when I tried to execute it with the main example from the above mentioned paper (see attachment), it showed this error message: > library(coda) Lade nötiges Paket: lattice > bugs2jags("WinBugs.txt","Jags.txt") Fehler in parse(file = file) : WinBugs.txt:19:9: Unerwartetes Symbol 18: list(individuals = 5, dyads = 9) 19: ind1[ ] ind2 ^ > Thank you in anticipation Sascha Siemann http://n4.nabble.com/file/n998943/WinBugs.txt WinBugs.txt -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/importing-data-from-BUGS-format-to-R-tp794525p998943.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.
