Hello BUGS users,

I would appreciate it if any user could point to or provide BUGS examples
for spatio-temporal modeling. I am particularly interested in BUGS examples
for spatial modeling where the prior for the spatial effects is expressed
as a conditional autoregressive process. This conditional probability
approach to spatial interaction (discussed within the context of Markow
Random Fields) seems to have been originially formulated by Besag (1974)
and has been used in various models such as those mentioned by Besag, York,
and Mollie (1991), Clayton, Bernardinelli, and Montomoli(1993),
Bernardinelli, Clayton, Pascutto, Montomoli, Ghislandi, and Songini (1995),
Mollie(1996), and Gelfand, Ghosh, Knight, and Sirmans (1998) among many
others. The spatial effects can also interact with time making the model
more complex.

Any pointers to code other than BUGS (C, Fortran, S-Plus etc.) are also
welcome.

Thank you in advance. I'll summarise the responses to the list.
