Analyse the System to Check That JAGS Is Installed

Description

Test the users system to determine the operating system, version of R installed, and version of JAGS installed. Some information is collected from other functions such as .platform and Sys.info. Used by the run.jags function.

Usage

testjags(jags = runjags.getOption("jagspath"), silent = FALSE)

Arguments

jags	the system call or path for activating JAGS. Default calls findjags() to attempt to locate JAGS on your system automatically. In unix the system call should always be 'jags', in Windows a path to the JAGS executable or the enclosing /bin or /JAGS folder is required.
silent	should on-screen feedback be suppressed? Default FALSE.

Value

A named list of values containing information about the JAGS installs found on the user's system (returned invisibly).
