This tutorial will focus on the use of Bayesian estimation to explore differences between two populations. BUGS (Bayesian inference Using Gibbs Sampling) is an algorithm and supporting language (resembling R) dedicated to performing the Gibbs sampling implementation of Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method. Dialects of the BUGS language are implemented within three main projects:
OpenBUGS - written in component pascal.
JAGS - (Just Another Gibbs Sampler) - written in C++.
