The WinBUGS code given below should reproduce the examples in the book. They are designed for WinBUGS 1.4 although will probably run on WinBUGS 1.3 (though the scripts will not work, and any graphics provided will not function). All the examples can be downloaded from a single zip file. Please let us know of any errors.
