I want to calculate posterior distributions in a case where I have a
four-dimensional normal prior and a likelihood that is a bivariate
binomial distribution:

Y1~binomial(n,p1)
Y2~binomial(n,p2)

log(-log(p1))=a1-exp(-b1)*x
log(-log(p2))=a2-exp(-b2)*x

(a1,b1,a2,b2) ~ four-dimensional normal distribution

Y1, Y2, x and n are observed.

The posterior distribution of (a1,b1,a2,b2) is of interest.

As far as I can see it is not possible to fit this model in classic BUGS
(running on a Linux platform)? Or ...? Can anyone suggest another
program/code for solving this problem?? Preferably for the Linux platform,
but other platforms are of interest, too.

Regards,
Marianne
