JAGS ( Just another Gibbs sampler ) is a free software which is used for questions of Bayesian statistics with the help of Monte Carlo simulation .
JAGS uses the same modeling language as the previous BUGS project , but has been completely rewritten and can be used across platforms. For model estimation and further analyzes, a file with the model, one with the data, one with start values, a JAGS script to connect everything and an R script for the overview and use of the results are used. Users can write their own functions, distributions and algorithms.
