Resources for BUGS:

BUGS ( Bayesian inference Using Gibbs Sampling) is computer software for the Bayesian analysis of complex statistical models using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods, and is implemented as WinBugs or as OpenBugs (Linux/Windows/Mac OS)

Resources for R:

R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. R provides a wide variety of statistical (linear and nonlinear modelling, classical statistical tests, time-series analysis, classification, clustering, ...) and graphical techniques, and is highly extensible. Contributed packages provide further extensibility and allow one to create input data, scripts, initial values and run WinBugs code from R. MCMC diagnostics are available using the R package Coda.

Resources for Emacs:

ESS (Emacs Speaks Statistics) provides a common, generic and useful interface to many statistical packages through Emacs. It currently has interfaces to S, R, XLisp-Stat, and SAS, with other statistical languages such as Stata, SPSS, and Fiasco slated for implementations in the future.
