1. I was wondering why there were only three replies to the suggestion
of a BUGS users' group meeting that I raised a few days ago. Then I
realised that I hadn't given the address of the bulletin board. So, if
you are interested in attending a BUGS users' group meeting (probably in
about 12 months time), then register your interest on the following BBS:
<http://www.math.helsinki.fi/openbugs/phpBB2/index.php>
(the forum is at the bottom).
2. A question came to this list a couple of days ago about tobit models.
This reminded me - if anyone has examples of models (like a tobit
model), that they think other people would be interested in, then I
would be happy to put them up on the OpenBUGS commmunity pages. If we
can build up a set of examples like this, then it will make other
people's work much easier! So, if you have an example that you think
will be of eneral interest, then email me.
3. I have been fitting a model, running two chains. For one set of
parameters, the ouput from the two chains were identical, even though
the parameters they depend on were themselves varying. I used "gen.
inits." to create the inital values, and those were identical too. Has
anyone else seen this, or can explain what's happening? The chains stay
together for a whole run (100 000 iterations). It's all rather curious.
4. If you happen to be away from your office, please email me, just to
let me know. :-)
And have a good weekend!
Bob
