R2WinBUGS: Running 'WinBUGS' and 'OpenBUGS' from 'R' / 'S-PLUS'

Invoke a 'BUGS' model in 'OpenBUGS' or 'WinBUGS', a class "bugs" for 'BUGS' results and functions to work with that class. Function write.model() allows a 'BUGS' model file to be written. The class and auxiliary functions could be used with other MCMC programs, including 'JAGS'. The suggested package 'BRugs' (only needed for function openbugs()) is only available from the CRAN archives, see <https://cran.r-project.org/package=BRugs>.
