Description

The file "Byers_WinBUGS_code.txt" contains the code for fitting our hierarchical spatial model. To execute the code, the text must be pasted into a document window in WinBugs.

Note: WinBUGS parameterizes the normal distribution in terms of the precision parameter "tau" which is the reciprocal of the variance parameter.
