Marrissa et al, I have asked the same question and have been directed to relevant (but too technical) references. I have decided to use "R" in resampling beta and normal distributions of continuous data. In short, I would *love* to see some WinBUGS code for a mixture model and a hierarchical model on continuous data with the corresponding data set. I learn best by reverse-engineering examples. Sending me to book chapters is inefficient - for me. * * *Thank you in advance for examples, sample code, and data for WinBUGS!* * * * * * J.
