Dear BUGS Friends, I am new to winbugs and trying to run a case-control study using bugs. I prepared my input data in SAS format with Y=1,0 disease indicator and 5 covariates, x1-x5 (1,0). When I run the winbugs, I got lots 'trap errors'. Would someone please help me to see if I input my data wrong or specified my model wrong. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Quanhe yang Centers for disease control and prevention model { for (i in 1 :N) { Y[i] ~ dbern(p[i]) x1[i]~dbern(q1) x2[i]~dbern(q2) x3[i]~dbern(q3) x4[i]~dbern(q4) x5[i]~dbern(q5) b[i] ~
