sourcesize.wbugs {mixstock} | R Documentation

## Run hierarchical model with via WinBUGS

### Description

Sets up the source-size model and passes it to WinBUGS via R2WinBUGS

### Usage

    sourcesize.wbugs(x,
    n.iter=20000,  n.burnin=floor(n.iter/2),
    n.chains=x$R,
    n.thin=max(1, floor(n.chains * (n.iter - n.burnin)/1000)),
    ...)

### Arguments

`x` | a mixstock data object
`n.iter` | Total length of each chain
`n.burnin` | Number of burn-in iterations
`n.chains` | Number of chains (default, number of sources)
`n.thin` | thinning rate. Must be a positive integer. Set 'n.thin' > 1 to save memory and computation time if 'n.iter' is large. Default is 'max(1, floor(n.chains * (n.iter-n.burnin) / 1000))' which will only thin if there are at least 2000 simulations.
`...` | other arguments to `bugs`

### Value

a BUGS object (as returned from R2WinBUGS); can be converted to CODA format using `as.mcmc.bugs`
