Description

read.openbugs reads Markov Chain Monte Carlo output in the CODA format produced by OpenBUGS.

Usage

read.openbugs(stem="", start, end, thin, quiet=FALSE)

Arguments

stem	Character string giving the stem for the output files. OpenBUGS produces files with names "<stem>CODAindex.txt", "<stem>CODAchain1.txt", "<stem>CODAchain2.txt", ...
start	First iteration of chain
end	Last iteration of chain
thin	Thinning interval for chain
quiet	Logical flag. If true, a progress summary will be printed
