Overview WinBUGS a tutorial Anastasia Lykou and loannis Ntzoufras The reinvention of Markov chain Monte Carlo MCMC methods and their implementation within the Bayesian framework in the early 1990s has established the Bayesian approach as one of the standard methods within the applied quantitative sciences Their extensive use in complex real life problems has lead to the increased demand for a friendly and easily accessible software which implements Bayesian models
Introduction to Bayesian Inference Practical Exercises You will be using WinBUGS 1 4 1 for these practicals which you should have already installed on your PC All the data and other files you will need for the practicals were provided in a zip file which you should have unzipped and saved in the directory C data If you didn t receive this zip archive and or don t have WinBUGS installed on your PC please ask as we have a copy on a USB memory stick that you can inst
