epi.RtoBUGS {epiR}

R to WinBUGS data conversion

Description

Writes data from an R list to a text file in WinBUGS-compatible format.

Arguments

datalist

a list (normally, with named elements) which may include scalars, vectors, matrices, arrays of any number of dimensions, and data frames.

Details

The function doesn't check to ensure that only numbers are being produced. In particular, factor labels in a dataframe will be output to the file, which normally won't be desired.
