WinBUGS is a program for Bayesian model fitting by Gibbs sampling. WinBUGS has limited facilities for data handling, whereas Stata has excellent data handling but no routines for Bayesian analysis; therefore, much can be gained by running Stata and WinBUGS together. This talk explains the use of...
