modelCompile {BRugs} | R Documentation

## Compiling the model

### Description

This function builds the data structures needed to carry out MCMC sampling.

### Usage

    modelCompile(numChains = 1)

### Arguments

`numChains` | Simulation is carried out for `numChains` chains.

### Details

The model is checked for completeness and consistency with the data. A node called ‘deviance’ is automatically created which calculates minus twice the log-likelihood at each iteration, up to a constant. This node can be used like any other node in the graphical model.

### Value

When the model has been successfully compiled, ‘model compiled’ message should be printed.

### Note

This command becomes active once the model has been successfully checked (see `modelCheck`).

If an attempt is made to execute this function in an inappropriate context the generic error message ‘command is not allowed (greyed out)’ is displayed.
