Here is how I do it: write(" model { for (year in 1:N) { D[year] ~ dpois(mu[year]) log(mu[year]) <- b[1] + step(year - changeyear) * b[2] } for (j in 1:2) { b[j] ~ dnorm(0.0, 1.0E-6) } changeyear ~ dunif(1,N) } ", "coalmining.jags")
which has the advantage that the model description is right there in the .Rd file.
If you want a file to be part of the package, put it in e.g. <pkg source>/inst/JAGSmodels/model.txt and in the example use system.file("JAGSmodels", "model.txt", package="whatever") On Mon, 2 Aug 2010, Conor Lawless wrote:
Hello, I can`t figure out how to include a text file for use in an example in the .Rd help files of an R package I am writing. I want the examples section of one help file to look like this: \examples{ # Load the JAGS model mod <- jags.model("model.txt") } The function jags.model tries to read in the file model.txt. So far every time I run R CMD check, I get an error message: Error in jags.model("model.txt"): Cannot open model file "model.txt" It's not clear to me where in the package directory structure I can put this file to make this example work. I've tried demo, inst, data and man. Is it possible to do this? If not, how can I go about including a JAGS model in an R package example?
