Hi: I am using the following code to read a data set in txt in R and using the follwoing model. But it seems to give me an error ' expected variable name error pos 134022'. Any help is greatly appreciated. Code: anal.data <- read.table("nausea.txt", header=T, sep="\t") list(names(anal.data)) attach(anal.data) n.samples <- dim(anal.data) [1] # number of data points n.params <- dim(anal.data)[2] - 2 # number of parameters to estimate n.sites <- length(unique(SITEID)) data.bugs <- list("NAUSEA"=NAUSEA,"SITEID"=SITEID,"BMI"=BMI, "USUBJID"=USUBJID,"n.samples"=n.samples,"n.sites"=n.sites,"n.params"=n.params) bugsData(data.bugs, fileName = "nauseadata.txt") inits.bugs <- list("b"=rep(0,n.params),"alpha"=rep(0,n.sites), "tau"=1) bugsInits(list(inits.bugs), fileName = "nauseainit.txt") > modelCheck("nausea_random.txt") # check model file model is syntactically correct > modelData("nauseadata.txt") # read data file expected variable name error pos 134022 Model statement: model { for (i in 1:n.samples) {NAUSEA[i] ~ dbin(p[i],1) logit(p[i]) <- alpha[SITEID[i]] + b[1] + b[2]*BMI[i]} for(k in 1:n.params) {b[k]~ dnorm(0.0,tau)} for (j in 1:n.sites) {alpha[j]~dnorm(0.0,1.0E-10)} tau ~ dgamma(0.001,0.001) } Sample Dataset: USUBJID SITEID BMI NAUSEA 01 0 01 0 01 0 01 0 01 0 01 0 01 0 01 0 01 0 3020101648 01 25.62 0 3020101649 01 30.54 0 3020101650 01 26.68 1 3020101651 01 26.56 0 3020101652 01 22.96 0 3020101653 01 26.27 0 3020101666 01 26.15 1 3020101667 01 30.18 0 3020101668 01 24.33 0 3020101669 01 44.72 1 3020101670 01 33.54 1 3020101671 01 36.39 1 3080101561 01 30.13 1 3080101562 01 25.8 1 3080101564 01 31.07 1 3080101565 01 26.53 0 3080101566 01 29.3 0 30801 01694 01 28.4 1 3080101695 01 26.03 1 3080101696 01 27.43 1 3080101697 01 31.96 0 3080101698 01 28.76 0 3080101699 01 28.4 1 3080101700 01 29.33 0 3080101701 01 36.02 0 3080101768 01 31.05 1 Thanks Anamika [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
