Abstract:

Currently multiple software and languages are available for Bayesian analyses which make the learning of Bayesian computation much easier and more practical. The software and languages include WinBUGS, R, SAS, JAGS (Just Another Gibbs Sampler) and Stan. Bayesian approach to non-linear Emax models using these tools will be discussed for some simulated data. Practical issues in Bayesian computation will also be addressed along with comparisons of the tools and interfaces between different languages.
