R Documentation

Compare OpenBUGS/R2OpenBUGS execution to results supplied with OpenBUGS

Description

A selected subset of the examples from the OpenBUGS manual is executed and compared to results supplied with the package to validate installation.

Usage

validateInstallOpenBUGS(
    OpenBUGS.pgm=NULL,
    useWINE=FALSE, WINE=NULL,
    newWINE=TRUE, WINEPATH=NULL
    )

Arguments

`OpenBUGS.pgm`	See `bugs`.
`useWINE`	logical; attempt to use the Wine emulator to run OpenBUGS. Default is `FALSE`. If WINE is used, the arguments `OpenBUGS.pgm` and `working.directory` must be given in form of Linux paths rather than Windows paths (if not `NULL`).
`WINE`	Character, path to ‘wine’ binary file, it is tried hard (by a guess and the utilities `which` and `locate`) to get the information automatically if not given.
`newWINE`	Use new versions of Wine that have ‘winepath’ utility
`WINEPATH`	Character, path to ‘winepath’ binary file, it is tried hard (by a guess and the utilities `which` and `locate`) to get the information automatically if not given.

Details

Operation system support:

MS Windows Yes
Linux, intel processors Yes, but GUI display and graphics not available.
Mac OS X and Unix Wine emulation via useWINE=TRUE

If useWINE=TRUE is used, all paths (such as working.directory and model.file, must be given in native (Unix) style, but OpenBUGS.pgm can be given in Windows path style (e.g. “c:/Program Files/OpenBUGS/”) or native (Unix) style
(e.g. “/path/to/wine/folder/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/OpenBUGS/OpenBUGS321/OpenBUGS.exe”).

Value

No data returned. Prints match/no match result to console for each example.
