bugs.update.settings function

Adjusting OpenBUGS registry

Adjusts OpenBUGS registry - intended for internal use

bugs.update.settings(n.burnin, bugs.directory)

Arguments

• n.burnin: length of burn in
• bugs.directory: directory that contains the OpenBUGS executable

Details

Alter the adaptive phases in the OpenBUGS updaters (in the BUGS/System/Rsrc/Registry.odc file, where BUGS is map of installed OpenBUGS) so that all adaptive updating is done during the burnin stage. Otherwise OpenBUGS will not report results if the burnin is less than a minimum value such as 500 or 4000 (depending on the model). Write permission on above mentioned file is needed for this!

Returns

Nothing, but as a side effect, the registry file BUGS/System/Rsrc/Registry.odc is modified
