WBDev shared components

The term "WBDev shared components" is used to refer to the set of new functions and distributions written by WinBUGS users, using WBDev, that have been submitted for public release via this web-site. The table below provides brief details regarding each of the currently available components; they are to be downloaded together as a single package. Please contact the relevant author directly if you have any problems/queries relating to a specific component.

Two different versions of the "shared components" package are available:

  1. If you have the WinBUGS Development Interface (WBDev) installed on your system (along with BlackBox) then you can download the source code (and documentation) for all shared components from here.
  2. If, on the other hand, you simply want to be able to use the shared components from within your copy of WinBUGS (1.4) then you should download them from here.
