car.normal in MultiBUGS about multibugs HOT 6 CLOSED

Yes, we are aware that CAR models are not currently working, but this is in development, and will hopefully be available soon!

Thats great! Being able to run my full model in MultiBUGS would significantly decrease the amount of time it takes to run. Looking forward to the update.
Thanks!

Did you make development with the CAR models? I'm trying to use, but I get this error:

Hi @diegopujoni, thanks for the report. CAR didn't make the cut for v1.0, but it is mostly implemented in v2.0alpha. A few rough edges still to iron out.

However, did the model you were running actually include CAR? It looks like you are getting an error running the 'schools' model that is included with R2MultiBUGS. This model doesn't involve CAR, unless you've edited it. The default schools model runs fine for me with v1.0 and current R2MultiBUGS, but if you are having problems with that, we can look into it.

Thank you for your reply, @rjbgoudie ,

The default schools model also ran fine for me using v1.0 and current R2MultiBUGS.
When I changed the model to include the model I'm studying (this model has a CAR structure), so I get the error. How can I download and use the v2.0alpha?
Best,

Closing, since CAR models implemented in v2.0.
