[R] WinBUGS Question

[Yihui Xie]

If you are using R2WinBUGS, I guess you may put them in a loop like:

# models
...
data_i[j]~dnorm(...)
...
# save them in a sequence of files with names like 'model_i.bug'
# write.model() might help?

# then call bugs()
for(i in names.of.your.100.datasets){
  bugs(data=i,...,model.file='model_i.bug',...)
}

The above code might need paste() here and there, e.g. paste('data_',
i, sep='').

I don't know if WinBUGS itself supports such a loop.

Regards,
Yihui
