+analysis of Bayesian hierarchical models using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)
+simulation not wholly unlike BUGS. JAGS was written with three aims in mind:
+
+@enumerate
+@item To have a cross-platform engine for the BUGS language;
+@item To be extensible, allowing users to write their own functions,
+ distributions and samplers;
+@item To be a platform for experimentation with ideas in Bayesian modelling.
