JAGS (Just Another Gibbs Sampler)

JAGS (Just Another Gibbs Sampler) is a software tool used by statisticians to perform Bayesian data analysis. It helps estimate the probability of different outcomes based on observed data by running many simulations. JAGS uses a method called Gibbs sampling, which iteratively updates estimates for unknown parameters, gradually converging on the most likely values. This process allows researchers to understand complex models and uncertainties within their data, facilitating more informed decision-making and inference in fields like science, medicine, and social sciences.
