Hello All:
I am new to Winbugs and my question is probably trivial to most users.
I am having a hard time trying to figure out how to simulate Monte
Carlo samples from conditional distribution of missing data. I know
the functional form of the distribution of f(y1|u), f(y2|u) and I know
the form of f(u), where 'u' is missing and 'y1' and 'y2' are known.
What I don't know (or cannot get a closed form solution for) is f
(y1,y2). My goal is to simulate 'u' from f(u|y1,y2).
I could not find any helpful example in the manual. If there are
similar examples elsewhere, please let me know. Any help will be
greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
Antara
