Bayesian Cost Effectiveness Analysis. Given the results of a Bayesian model (possibly based on MCMC) in the form of simulations from the posterior distributions of suitable variables of costs and clinical benefits for two or more interventions, produces a health economic evaluation. Compares one of the interventions (the "reference") to the others ("comparators"). Produces many summary and plots to analyse the results

R HE hackathon (meta-issue) #6

Closed seabbs closed 4 years ago

seabbs commented 4 years ago

Hi @giabaio,

TLDR: Sorry for the huge number of issues. All are suggestions so feel free to ignore/close. Equally if you are interested but have no time then I am happy to do some work on these.

I've been attending an R health economics hackathon and been reviewing your package to see if more tooling is needed for cost effectiveness analysis (it's not - your package is great!). We actually started on a package and realised very shortly after finishing the infrastructure that yours did everything we were considering doing.

That being said we identified a few things that we thought could be changed to improve the user experience for people using BCEA with non-traditional models. I am going to open a few issues highlighting some of our thoughts but feel free to close any/all of them if you think it isn't required.

Very happy to work on any or all of these issues if that would be helpful - just let me know :smile:

Thanks for all the messages, @seabbs! First of all, thanks for your kind words on our work. Also, I'm very happy to have people collaborate & contribute to BCEA, so absolutely --- I'll reply to your messages individually and close the ones that don't require further interactions (eg this one). Of course, feel free to re-open if you think otherwise, though!
