Abstract: bugwrite writes observations of Stata variables to the screen or to a file, in a "list" format that can be read by the Bayesian modeling software WinBUGS. By using –bugwrite-, one can avoid having to manually input the tedious formatting involving commas, spaces, and parentheses that WinBUGS requires. Formatting of missing data is also supported.

Language: Stata
Requires: Stata version 11.0
