<h1>JAGS</h1>

<blockquote>
  <p>JAGS is Just Another Gibbs Sampler.  It is a program for analysis of
  Bayesian hierarchical models using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)
  simulation  not wholly unlike BUGS.  JAGS was written with three aims
  in mind:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>To have a cross-platform engine for the BUGS language</li>
  <li>To be extensible, allowing users to write their own functions, distributions and samplers.</li>
  <li>To be a plaftorm for experimentation with ideas in Bayesian modelling</li>
  </ul>
