Usage

bugsData(data, fileName = file.path(tempdir(), "data.txt"),
         format="E", digits = 5)

Arguments

data

Either a named list (names corresponding to variable names in the model file) of the data for the OpenBUGS model, or a vector or list of the names of the data objects used by the model

fileName

The filename, defaults to ‘data.txt’ in the temporary directory of the current R session

format

String to pass to formatC which controls formatting of numbers. The default "E" formats all numbers in scientific notation. The alternative "fg" uses a standard format, which is more readable but less safe for extreme numbers.
