\title{Update jags models}
\description{
Update the Markov chain associated with the model.
}
\usage{
\method{update}{jags}(object, n.iter=1, by, progress.bar, \ldots)
}
\arguments{
\item{object}{a \code{jags} model object}
\item{n.iter}{number of iterations of the Markov chain to run}
\item{by}{refresh frequency for progress bar. See Details}
\item{progress.bar}{type of progress bar. Possible values are
\code{"text"}, \code{"gui"}, and \code{"none"}. See Details.}
\item{\ldots}{additional arguments to the update method (ignored)}
}
\value{
The \code{update} method for \code{jags} model objects modifies the
original object and returns \code{NULL}.
}
\details{
Since MCMC calculations are typically long, a progress bar is
displayed during the call to \code{update}. The type of progress bar
is determined by the \code{progress.bar} argument. Type \code{"text"}
is displayed on the R console. Type \code{"gui"} is a graphical
progress bar in a new window. The progress bar is suppressed if
\code{progress.bar} is \code{"none"} or \code{NULL}, if the update is
less than 100 iterations, or if R is not running interactively.
The default progress bar type is taken from the option \code{jags.pb}.
The progress bar is refreshed every \code{by} iterations. The
update can only be interrupted when the progress bar is refreshed.
Therefore it is advisable not to set \code{by} to a very large
value. By default \code{by} is either \code{n.iter/50} or \code{100},
whichever is smaller.
