bugs.script: Writes script for running WinBUGS

In R2WinBUGS: Running 'WinBUGS' and 'OpenBUGS' from 'R' / 'S-PLUS'

Writes script for running WinBUGS

Description

Write file ‘script.txt’ for WinBUGS to read - intended for internal use

Usage

bugs.script(parameters.to.save, n.chains, n.iter, n.burnin, n.thin,
    model.file, debug=FALSE, is.inits, bin, DIC=FALSE,
    useWINE=.Platform$OS.type != "windows", newWINE=TRUE, WINEPATH=NULL, 
    bugs.seed=NULL, summary.only=FALSE, save.history=TRUE, 
    bugs.data.file, bugs.inits.files, over.relax = FALSE)

Arguments

parameters.to.save	parameters that should be monitored
n.chains	number of Markov chains
n.iter	number of total iterations (including burn in)
n.burnin	length of burn in
n.thin	size of thinning parameter
model.file	file containing the model written in WinBUGS code
debug	if FALSE, WinBUGS is closed automatically, otherwise WinBUGS remains open for further investigation
is.inits	logical; whether initial values are given by the user (TRUE) or have to be generated by WinBUGS
bin	number of iterations between saving of results
DIC	logical; if TRUE, compute deviance, pD, and DIC automatically in WinBUGS
useWINE	as in bugs meta function
newWINE	as in bugs meta function
WINEPATH	as in bugs meta function
bugs.seed	random seed for WinBUGS (default is no seed)
summary.only	If TRUE, only a parameter summary for very quick analyses is given, temporary created files are not removed in that case.
save.history	If TRUE (the default), trace plots are generated at the end.
bugs.data.file	character name of the data file
bugs.inits.files	character vector of names of the inits files
over.relax	If TRUE, over-relaxed form of MCMC is used if available from WinBUGS.

Value

Nothing, but as a side effect, the script file ‘script.txt’ is written
