Dear Winbugs users and developers!, I am a beginner using Winbugs, the installations and update of software are ok. I follow all the procedure to run the model (see below): - Specification tool. - Sample monitor tool - Update tool. And it work properly. The problem arise when I've tried to set Rank Monitor Tool. I set for example the variable mu node, when I click Stats the program respond with the message Interface7 in the log window, the number is random (I believed) sometime is 4, other 6 or 2. My goal is to see if one of the point in the list are outside of the margin 2.5 or 97.5% of mu, from initial population references values. Anyone could help me to understand If there are an error in the model or a problem with an “Interface” that I have not installed? Or this is not the way to see what I wan? Best regard, and good 2015 Daniel Jardines, PhD.
