Bayesian Analysis from WinBUGS Program to R Program

Abstract

WinBUGS is statistical software to estimate Bayes estimator using Markov Chain Monte
Carlo (MCMC) method. The R2WinBUGS package provides convenient functions to call
WinBUGS from R program. It automatically writes the scripts and data by WinBUGS processing
with R program. After the WinBUGS process has finished, the results can seen from R program.
This article shows the example from Bayesian analysis with WinBUGS program and the code from
R program that linked to Win BUGS for processing. However, the output from 2 program is similar
for parameter estimation.

Keywords: WinBUGS program, R program, Markov Chain Monte Carlo
