Convert Bayesian Updating for Gibbs Sampling (BUGS) Model to Julia's `@bugs` Macro Format

Source: R/utils.R
bugs2juliaBUGS.Rd

This function formats a Bayesian Updating for Gibbs Sampling (BUGS) model string into Julia's `@bugs("""...""", convert_var_name, true)` macro syntax, used to run BUGS models in Julia. By default, R-style variable names (e.g., `a.b.c`) are converted to Julia-style (`a_b_c`). You can disable this behavior by setting `convert_var_name = FALSE`.

Usage

bugs2juliaBUGS(model_code, convert_var_name = TRUE)

Arguments

model_code

A character string containing the BUGS model code.

convert_var_name

Logical; if TRUE (default), R-style variable names (e.g., a.b.c) are converted to Julia-style (a_b_c). Set to FALSE to preserve the original names.

Value

A character string representing a valid Julia `@bugs` macro call. This string can be evaluated in Julia to define the BUGS model with optional variable name conversion.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
model <- "
  for i in 1:N
    y[i] ~ dnorm(mu, tau)
  end
  mu ~ dnorm(0.0, 1.0E-6)
  tau ~ dgamma(0.001, 0.001)
"
bugs2juliaBUGS(model)
bugs2juliaBUGS(model, convert_var_name = FALSE)
