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
