How can I run the new JAGS package (dweiner) in JASP for my statistical analysis?

To run the JAGS package dweiner in JASP, follow these steps:

1. Install JASP: If you haven't already, download and install the latest version of JASP from the official website.
2. Set up JAGS: Make sure you have JAGS (Just Another Gibbs Sampler) installed on your computer. You can download it from the JAGS homepage.
3. Prepare Your Model Script: Write your JAGS model script using the dweiner package. Your script should define the model, data, and initial values. Save this script as a .jags file.
4. Load Data in JASP: Open JASP and load your dataset. Ensure your data is correctly formatted and variables are properly defined.
5. Open JAGS Module in JASP: In JASP, navigate to the Analyses tab, select Bayesian, and then choose JAGS.
6. Configure JAGS Analysis:
   • Model File: In the JAGS module, locate the section to input your model file and upload your .jags script.
   • Data Variables: Map the variables from your dataset to the corresponding variables in your JAGS model.
   • Initial Values: If your model requires initial values, input them in the appropriate section.

1. Run the Analysis: After configuring the settings, click the Run button to start the analysis. JASP will execute the JAGS model using the dweiner package and provide results in the output window.
2. Review Results: Once the analysis is complete, review the results provided by JASP. This includes parameter estimates, diagnostics, and any additional output specified in your model.

By following these steps, you can successfully run the dweiner package in JASP for your statistical analysis needs.

Hi,

I do not believe this will work, nor are the steps you list necessary (e.g., JAGS is shipped with JASP already, there is no need to install it additionally and any separately installed JAGS will never be used). Could you provide more information about what you are trying to accomplish?

Cheers,
