As part of a bigger model, I want logit(C/N) ~ N(mu,tau) where C is an observation while N is a stochastic node. I try to write this model by N ~ dnorm(muN,tauN); LogitC <- logit(C/N); LogitC ~ dnorm(mu,tau); but then I get an error message when compiling: multiple definitions of node LogitC In the manual I see that transformations of data are allowed, i.e N ~ dnorm(muN,tauN) LogitC <- logit(C) Logit(C) ~ N(mu,tau) works, so the problem seems to be that I am not allowed to use transformations of both data and stochastic nodes. Any ideas on how I can solve this?
