Just wrote a short #tutorial on fitting a system of Ordinary Differential Equations to time-series data using #OpenBUGS in #rstats https://t.co/7luj8XVgP6 - Data and model are from https://t.co/X9CwX7dW83 in which #zombie movies are used for illustration #shaunofthedead pic.
Recently, I have been using `OpenBUGS` for some analyses that `JAGS` cannot do. However, `JAGS` can be run in parallel through [the `jagsUI` package](https://github.com/kenkellner/jagsUI), which can save you some precious time. So the question is how to run several chains in parallel with `OpenBUGS`.
I had to use the good old `OpenBUGS` for some analyses that cannot be done in `JAGS`. Below are the steps to install `OpenBUGS` then to run it from your Mac either natively or from `R`. This tutorial is an adaptation of [this post](https://sites.google.com/site/mmeclimate/-bayesmet/openbugs-on-mac-os-x) and [that one](http://www.davideagle.org/r-2/bayesian-modeling-using-winbugs-and-openbugs/running-openbugs-on-mac-using-wine).
