R2MultiBUGS: Running MultiBUGS from R

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References See Also

View source: R/validateInstallMultiBUGS.R

A selected subset of the examples from the MultiBUGS manual is executed and compared to results supplied with the package to validate installation.

validateInstallMultiBUGS(test.models = c("Air", "Asia", "Beetles",
  "BiRats", "Camel", "Dugongs", "Dyes", "Equiv", "Eyes", "Line",
  "OtreesMVN", "Rats", "Stacks", "Surgical", "Surgicalrand"),
  n.workers = 2, report = "text", MultiBUGS.pgm = NULL,
  useWINE = FALSE, WINE = NULL, newWINE = TRUE, WINEPATH = NULL,
  ...)

`test.models`	A character list of models to validate.
`n.workers`	The number of workers to use in the MCMC simulation.
`report`	How to report the result of the validation. If `'text'` then the outcome is reported to the console. If `'appveyor'` the result is reported to the `appveyor` command line API, and R will be quit after each test model.
`MultiBUGS.pgm`	See `bugs`.
`useWINE`	logical; attempt to use the Wine emulator to run MultiBUGS. Default is `FALSE`. If WINE is used, the arguments `MultiBUGS.pgm` and `working.directory` must be given in form of Linux paths rather than Windows paths (if not `NULL`).
`WINE`	Character, path to ‘wine’ binary file, it is tried hard (by a guess and the utilities `which` and `locate`) to get the information automatically if not given.
`newWINE`	Use new versions of Wine that have ‘winepath’ utility
`WINEPATH`	Character, path to ‘winepath’ binary file, it is tried hard (by a guess and the utilities `which` and `locate`) to get the information automatically if not given.
`...`	Other arguments passed through to `bugs`

Operation system support:

MS Windows Yes
Linux, intel processors Yes, but GUI display and graphics not available.
Mac OS X and Unix Wine emulation via useWINE=TRUE

If useWINE=TRUE is used, all paths (such as working.directory and model.file, must be given in native (Unix) style, but MultiBUGS.pgm can be given in Windows path style (e.g. “c:/Program Files/MultiBUGS/”) or native (Unix) style
(e.g. “/path/to/wine/folder/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/MultiBUGS/MultiBUGS321/MultiBUGS.exe”).

No data returned. Prints match/no match result to console for each example.
