importing data from BUGS format to R?

For those who use WinBUGS (or for those who are just familar with this
format), I have a text file that looks like this (which is how R would
export data if you used the "structure" function):

y= structure(.Data= c(-6.93310E+01, 4.32870E+01, -6.96600E+01, 4.35730E+01,

5.96590E+01, -4.50540E+01, 5.97830E+01), .Dim=c(120, 2))

I would like to read this into R as an 120x2 array (matrix or data frame).
How would I do so?

I know I can just copy/paste all the values bound by c( ), and then just do
something like this:

y <- matrix(c(pasted values), nrow=120, ncol = 2)

But, I get errors messages when I try to copy/paste the whole dataset
because I reach line limits in the R console, such that certain values get
split, and then R doesn't know what to do with something like "0E+01, -".
So, I can instead try to copy/paste in a piecemeal fashion (which I've done,
and it works fine), but I'm sure there's a better way.

Thanks
Jeff

Re: importing data from BUGS format to R?

Just source the file:

source("mywinbugsfile.R")
head(y)

... and don't forget to transpose the matrix afterwards, if this was
BUGS code.

Re: importing data from BUGS format to R?

If this were a WinBUGS data file (or initial values file), the whole
expression would be wrapped in a call to list(). In this case, you would
need to assign the output from source(), or use the dget() function,
e.g. for the EPILEPSY example:

> mydata <- dget("epildata.txt")
> names(mydata)
[1] "N" "T" "y" "Trt" "Base" "Age" "V4"
> mydata$T
[1] 4

But, as Uwe points out, arrays will need to be reorganized, as WinBUGS
fills matrices by row rather than column.

> head(mydata$y) #wrong!
[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4]
[1,] 5 9 9 7
[2,] 3 11 4 6
[3,] 3 0 0 7
[4,] 3 0 4 1
[5,] 3 5 3 1
[6,] 5 0 0 2

I wrote a function called "bugs2jags", which you will find in the coda
package, for converting WinBUGS data files into the data format used by
JAGS which is, by no coincidence, the format used by the R function
dump().

> library(coda)
Loading required package: lattice
> bugs2jags("epildata.txt","epildata.R") #Creates file "epildata.R"
> source("epildata.R")
> ls()
[1] "Age" "Base" "N" "T" "Trt" "V4" "y"

This creates objects in your work space, and sorts out the arrays

> head(y) #right
[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4]
[1,] 5 3 3 3
[2,] 3 5 3 3
[3,] 2 4 0 5
[4,] 4 4 1 4
[5,] 7 18 9 21
[6,] 5 2 8 7
