This new module was built for users interested in a programming language similar to BUGS to fit a Bayesian model based on the piecewise exponential distribution. The module is an extension of the open-source program JAGS. The PE distribution is widely used in the fields of survival analysis and reliability. Currently, it can only be implemented in JAGS through methods to indirectly specify the likelihood based on the Poisson or Bernoulli probabilities. Our module provides a more straightforward implementation with faster results. The "tar.gz" file provided for download here (installation for both Windows and Unix systems) is related to an R package called "pexm". This package is intended to install and load the new module. Details can be found in the paper https://www.jstatsoft.org/article/view/v100i08 or https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.12359
