Bayesian modeling for combining Gaussian dates with known variance and with the addition of a random effect. These dates are assumed to be contemporaneous of the target date and have non identical distributions as the variance may be different for each date. In addition, a random effect is introduced in the modelling by a shrinkage distribution as defined by Congdom (2010). The posterior distribution of the modeling is sampled by a MCMC algorithm implemented in JAGS.

number of iterations in the Adapt period of the MCMC algorithm |

names of the variables whose Markov chains are kept |

If there are Nbobs measurements M associated with their error s, the model is the following one :
for j in (1:Nbobs)
Mj ~ N(muj, sj^2)
muj ~ N(theta, sigmai^2)
theta ~ U(ta, tb)
sigma ~ UniformShrinkage
This function returns a Markov chain of the posterior distribution. The MCMC chain is in date format BC/AD, that is the reference year is 0. Only values for the variables defined by 'variable.names' are given.
