[R] books about MCMC to use MCMC R packages?

[Christophe Pouzat]

Hi Jordi,

As far as implementions are concerned the book of Bernd Berg seems to be 
the closest to what you're looking for.
You can find a link to the Fortran codes implementing the methods he 
describes from his web site:

http://www.csit.fsu.edu/~berg/

There is also a nice reference for the analysis of the output of MCMC 
algorithm by Wolfhard Janke:
Janke W (2002) Statistical Analysis of Simulations: Data Correlations 
and Error Estimation. In, Quantum Simulations of Complex Many-Body 
Systems: From Theory to Algorithms, Lecture Notes, J. Grotendorst, D. 
Marx, A. Muramatsu (Eds.), John von Neumann Institute for Computing, 
Jülich, NIC Series, Vol. *10*, pp. 423-445.

A Master Carpenter has many tools and is expert with most of them.If you
only know how to use a hammer, every problem starts to look like a nail.
Stay away from that trap.
