WinBUGS is a statistical analysis program involving Markov chain Monte
Carlo
sampling. The program, developed in the UK for biologists, is free at:
http://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/bugs/welcome.shtml

Now an Excel interface has been developed which eliminates the need to
program in the WinBUGS language. The Excel interface, BugsXLA, also free,
is available at: http://www.jstatsoft.org/v14/i05/v14i05.pdf

Hopefully, some math experts in this newsgroup will give us their
evaluation
of using WinBUGS through Excel.
