Alter the adaptive phases in the MultiBUGS updaters (in the ‘BUGS/System/Rsrc/Registry.odc’ file, where BUGS is map of installed MultiBUGS) so that all adaptive updating is done during the burnin stage. Otherwise MultiBUGS will not report results if the burnin is less than a minimum value such as 500 or 4000 (depending on the model). Write permission on above mentioned file is needed for this!
