[R--gR] new R package BRugs

[Uwe Ligges]

Hi,

the following message which might be of particular interest to this list 
has been posted earlier this day to the BUGS and R-devel mailing lists.

Some later dicussion on R-devel 
(https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2005-April/032702.html) points 
out that you can expect the package BRugs to work on Windows, but 
currently only on a limited number of Linux machines (if at all).

Best,
Uwe Ligges

===========================================

Hi,

this is the first announcement of a *developer version* of the R package
BRugs, which is based on OpenBUGS 2.1.0.

OpenBUGS 2.1.0 has been released earlier this week
(http://mathstat.helsinki.fi/openbugs/).

BRugs contains a complete OpenBUGS installation as well as R code to
access OpenBUGS functionality from R. Simply install the package, load
it and say ?BRugs and ?BRugsFit respectively.

Sources (BRugs_0.2-0.tar.gz) and Windows binaries (BRugs_0.2-0.zip) are
available from
http://www.statistik.uni-dortmund.de/~ligges/BRugs/
(*this is a temporary directory that will be removed after we think
BRugs is really stable*).

Feedback, bug reports and feature requests to
sturtz at statistik.uni-dortmund.de are welcome!

All the best,
Sibylle Sturtz and Uwe Ligges
