Dear list

I am very new to using Open BUGS/WinBUGS. I am trying to estimate a Rasch
model, much like the LSAT example in the first set of examples. While my
model is syntactically correct, compiles, with data loaded. The estimates I
obtain for my item parameters (according to the stats output) are very very
close to 0 (which is not what is reported in the example). I have seen
several examples of implementing a Rasch model in WinBUGS/Open BUGS and have
tried all of them (or variations) but I seem to get the same results. I am
assuming that the summary stats are from the posterior distribution,
correct?

Also, if anyone knows of a good Open BUGS tutorial...

Thanks

Barth
