I wrote a function called "bugs2jags", which you will find in the coda package, for converting WinBUGS data files into the data format used by JAGS which is, by no coincidence, the format used by the R function dump().
First of all excuse me for reviving this very old thread - if it is the preferred way in this forum/ mailinglist, I will start a new one instead. I'm a computational biologist programming in C++ and I'm actually not familiar with R. But I wrote a small program to analyse Win-/OpenBugs output (CODA) according to this paper: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2004.08.011 . As I'm working with Mac and Linux (Kubuntu 9.10 ?Karmic Koala? at the moment) and WINbugs only runs on Windows natively (as it's name says), I want to switch to JAGS instead. Now I have the problem to change the WinBugs formatted model and data into JAGS/R formatted ones, which is quite difficult without knowing the actual differences between R and S(-PLUS) programming languages. (The latter one seems to be the basis of WinBugs' format.) I'm not completely sure whether "bugs2jags" can be applied to this case, but when I tried to execute it with the main example from the above mentioned paper (see attachment), it showed this error message:
