MLwiN User Manual

We provide R demos which allow you to replicate all the analysis reported in the MLwiN MCMC Manual (PDF, 7.4 mb) using R2MLwiN with the package. The table of contents are:

01 Introduction to MCMC Estimation and Bayesian Modelling (R)
02 Single Level Normal Response Modelling (R)
03 Variance Components Models (R)
04 Other Features of Variance Components Models (R)
05 Prior Distributions, Starting Values and Random Number Seeds (R)
06 Random Slopes Regression Models (R)
07 Using the WinBUGS Interface in MLwiN (R)
08 Running a Simulation Study in MLwiN (R)
09 Modelling Complex Variance at Level 1 / Heteroscedasticity (R)
10 Modelling Binary Responses (R)
11 Poisson Response Modelling (R)
12 Unordered Categorical Responses (R)
13 Ordered Categorical Responses (R)
14 Adjusting for Measurement Errors in Predictor Variables (R)
15 Cross Classified Models (R)
16 Multiple Membership Models (R)
17 Modelling Spatial Data (R)
18 Multivariate Normal Response Models and Missing Data (R)
19 Mixed Response Models and Correlated Residuals (R)
20 Multilevel Factor Analysis Modelling (R)
21 Using Structured MCMC (R)
22 Using the Structured MVN framework for models (R)
23 Using Orthogonal fixed effect vectors (R)
24 Parameter expansion (R)
25 Hierarchical Centring (R)

To see an R script that replicates a chapter in the manual (for example, Chapter 03: Variance Components Models), type the following at the R command line:

file.show(system.file("demo", "Chapter03.R", package="R2MLwiN"))

To run the demo, please specify the MLwiN directory, for example,

mlwin = "C:/Program Files (x86)/MLwiN v2.26/"

and then type the following at the R command line:

demo(Chapter03)

Note that if WinBUGS14.exe or OpenBUGS.exe is not found under the default installation folder, the user will be asked to provide one. For example,
Please specify the path for the WinBUGS executable:

1: C:/Stat-JR/WinBUGS14/WinBUGS14.exe↵
2: ↵
