I am learning how to use Bayesian t-tests using the R package "BEST", and practicing with the example on page two from https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/BEST/BEST.pdf

It looks like this: 

## Comparison of two groups:
## =========================
y1 <- c(5.77, 5.33, 4.59, 4.33, 3.66, 4.48)
y2 <- c(3.88, 3.55, 3.29, 2.59, 2.33, 3.59)

# Run an analysis, takes up to 1 min.

BESTout <- BESTmcmc(y1, y2)

However, when I run the analysis, I get the following error and have no idea why:

Error in BESTmcmc(y1, y2) : could not find function "BESTmcmc".

I have successfully installed and loaded the package, so I am not sure why else I might be getting this error. I appreciate any help and insight I can get! I am using Rstudio by the way, if that makes any difference.

    afaik it is not enough to simply install and load the package, but you also need jags. Did you get any error messages when running library("BEST") ? – vanao veneri Dec 05 '19 at 19:03
  • Oh! you are right, I missed the error when loading the package. I have installed JAGS, and now it works. Thank you!! – Kitty Depa Dec 05 '19 at 19:28
