\title{Read CODA output files produced by OpenBUGS}
\usage{
read.openbugs(stem="", start, end, thin, quiet=FALSE)
}
\arguments{
\item{stem}{Character string giving the stem for the output files.
OpenBUGS produces files with names "<stem>CODAindex.txt",
"<stem>CODAchain1.txt", "<stem>CODAchain2.txt", \ldots}
\item{start}{First iteration of chain}
\item{end}{Last iteration of chain}
\item{thin}{Thinning interval for chain}
\item{quiet}{Logical flag. If true, a progress summary will be printed}
}
\description{
\code{read.openbugs} reads Markov Chain Monte Carlo output in
the CODA format produced by OpenBUGS.
This is a convenience wrapper around the function \code{read.coda}
which allows you to read all the data output by OpenBUGS by
specifying only the file stem.
}
\value{
An object of class \code{mcmc.list} containing output from all
chains.
