[R] how to update a bugs-model from inside R using R2WinBUGS

[Frederic Holzwarth]

The script command "coda" is not necessary, unless you want to read in in
coda-format output. Necessary are the other commands: "history & save
(odc)". "save (txt)" lets you read the on-screen output of winbugs later as
a text-file.

Another way is also to take the saved last values of the chains and use them
as new starting values. This is fine but it takes a bit longer because the
model has to be compiled again each time.
The R-code would be like this:

bugs_out1 <- bugs(data=data, inits=inits, parms=parms, model=...
lv <- bugs_out$last.values
#and
bugs_out2 <- bugs(data=data, inits=lv, parms=parms, model=...
