In jagsUI: A Wrapper Around 'rjags' to Streamline 'JAGS' Analyses

jagsUI 1.6.2

• Fix broken tests on CRAN

jagsUI 1.6.1

• Extensive refactoring of internal code
• Don't drop output dimensions when only one parameter saved
• Summary method now returns the summary matrix
• Add tests
• Add vignette

jagsUI 1.5.2

• Remove View function due to problematic interactions with RStudio
• Improvements to traceplot and densityplot
• Make sure output is reproducible when parallel=FALSE
• Minor bugfixes

jagsUI 1.5.1

• Fix issue when chains adapted for different numbers of iterations
• Fix crash when DIC was requested but JAGS couldn't calculate it
• Stop auto-converting 1 row/1 col matrices into vectors
• Improve pp.check plotting function
• Add some warnings about functions and arguments that will be deprecated soon

jagsUI 1.5.0

• Fix issues with NAs in parameters.
• Fix missing arguments in autojags().
• Handle errors in output processing so that samples are not lost completely.
• Make sure a specified random seed is used for initial value functions.
• Fix error where summary stats were printed in the wrong order for some parameters.
• Don't collapse 1 row/1col matrices into vectors automatically.

jagsUI 1.4.9

• Fix bug with DIC output introduced in 1.4.7.

jagsUI 1.4.8

• Minor changes to prep for CRAN submission.
• Fix more issues with random seeds and problems with DIC.
• Fix issue with setting seed affecting other random number generation.
• Allow turning deviance/DIC monitoring on/off when updating an existing model.
• Overhaul handling of adaptation; default to running a sequence of adapt() calls until JAGS reports adapation is adequate. Suggest minimum of 1000 adaptation iterations otherwise in man pages.
• Change output of summary function. Add ability to control factories.

jagsUI 1.4.4

• Change default approach to generating random seeds.
• Add S3 method for View()
• Convert traceplot() to an S3 method from S4.
• Fix to allow running in parallel when dependencies are in non-standard libraries.
• Fix bug when updating jagsbasic class.

jagsUI 1.4.2

• Changes to NAMESPACE to get clean build check on R-devel.
• Add ability to specify number of CPU cores to use when running in parallel.
• Fix a problem where saving output for a single scalar parameter broke output processing.
• Fix a problem where nonscalar estimated parameters with missing (i.e., non-estimated) values broke the display of summary stats.
• Explicitly import functions from default packages to meet new standards for building with R-devel.
• Change minimum required version of rjags to 3-13.

jagsUI 1.3.7

• Add verbose argument to functions to allow suppression of all text output in the console as the function runs.
• Change method for closing connection to clusters when running in parallel to avoid closing unrelated connections.
• Adjust output for jags.basic.
• Fix problem with max.iter argument in autojags(). Clarify documentation and output for autojags().
• Add option save.all.iter in autojags() function to combine MCMC samples from all iterative updates into final posterior.
• Fix issue with calculating stats that sometimes occurred with a constant posterior distribution.
• Fix error where autojags did not handle NA rhat values properly.
• Added more helpful warning when at least one rhat value = NA.

jagsUI 1.3.1

• Initial CRAN upload.
