read.openbugs {coda} | R Documentation

## Read CODA output files produced by OpenBUGS

### Description

`read.openbugs` reads Markov Chain Monte Carlo output in the CODA format produced by OpenBUGS.

This is a convenience wrapper around the function `read.coda` which allows you to read all the data output by OpenBUGS by specifying only the file stem.

### Usage

    read.openbugs(stem="", start, end, thin, quiet=FALSE)

### Arguments

`stem` | Character string giving the stem for the output files. OpenBUGS produces files with names "<stem>CODAindex.txt", "<stem>CODAchain1.txt", "<stem>CODAchain2.txt", ...
`start` | First iteration of chain
`end` | Last iteration of chain
`thin` | Thinning interval for chain
`quiet` | Logical flag. If true, a progress summary will be printed

### Value

An object of class `mcmc.list` containing output from all chains.
