The R statistical software provides an efficient, flexible, transparent, and extensible tool for building models for economic evaluation in healthcare. It is an increasingly popular alternative to less efficient, generalisable and powerful software such as spreadsheets. The tutors of this course have been at the forefront of developing R models and tools for economic evaluation.
This course aims to teach the use of R for building Markov, semi-Markov, and discrete event simulation models for economic evaluation and how to conduct a value of information analysis in R.
This course will cover :
Day 1
- reminder on R;
- advanced Markov models (more states, more treatments, modularised code); and
- semi-Markov models.
Day 2
- value of information analysis; and
- discrete event simulation.
