Purpose: WinBUGS is part of the BUGS project, which aims to make practical Markov chain Monte Carlo methods available to applied statisticians.

Description: This component is an example of how to run a WinBUGS model Script within Pipeline Pilot. It is here integrated using the R package R2WinBUGS and the Pipeline Pilot R-Statistics collection. Depending on the your needs, a future version may behave like a Learning component. One could also run WinBUGS from another software. Please let me know your preferred way. For the R enthusiasts, also see the following CRAN task Analysis of Pharmacokinetic Data
