Martyn Plummer
Since MCMC calculations are typically long, a progress bar is
displayed during the call to update
. The type of progress bar
is determined by the progress.bar
argument. Type "text"
is displayed on the R console. Type "gui"
is a graphical
progress bar in a new window. The progress bar is suppressed if
progress.bar
is "none"
or 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 jags.pb
.
The progress bar is refreshed every by
iterations. The
update can only be interrupted when the progress bar is refreshed.
Therefore it is advisable not to set by
to a very large
value. By default by
is either n.iter/50
or 100
,
whichever is smaller.
