Hello I have to run my model on multiple datasets, for which I use automated scripts for doing it. I usually set a burn-in of 1000 iterations and further 10000 for parameter estimation. It is manually not possible for me to run the simulations, due to large quantity. At times I notice that convergence reaches at a much later stage. Is there a way in which WinBUGS can automatically decide when convergence have been reached and start collection data from that point. By force I can run burn-in of 10000 iterations, but that'd take too much of machine's processing. Any ideas will be very helpful.
