Individual level data

26.09.2018

Cost-effectiveness analysis with individual level data You can do this practical either directly in BUGS, or running the scripts from R. If you are using the BUGS graphical interface, then you will need to open the relevant model files (e.g. normal-mod.txt}, cgeg-mod.txt), together with the relevant data (e.g. cost-data.txt or cost-util-data.txt)...

survHE new release

18.10.2018

I have just submitted a revised version of survHE on CRAN — it should be up very shortly. This will be version 1.0.64 and its main feature is a major restructuring in the way the rstan/HMC stuff works. Basically, this is due to a change in the default C++ compiler. I don’t think much will change in terms of how survHE works when running full ...

New stuff in BCEA

10.12.2018

After my talks in Barcelona, I have started thinking about potential improvements or changes, mostly to do in BCEA — I got some nice comments from quite a few people, some of whom were asking for some tweaks or extra facilities. Obviously, I’ve not prioritised any of those requests… But: I did think a bit and finally found some time to work...

Stats in the newspapers

14.02.2019

As I’m waiting to catch my flight back from Stockholm (where I had a rather interesting meeting discussing Bayesian network meta-analysis. But I digress…), I am browsing the news — mainly just to keep myself awake. And I find this interesting piece of news in The Guardian. It is the story that data released by the Nigerian Electoral Commiss...

Busy summer ahead

14.02.2019

Summer is really going to be busy, this year. But in a good way… In June, I’ll be at our annual summer school in Florence. This year, we have a slight change in the line-up — Nicky has decided to take a break from teaching with us, which is a shame, (although I understand, as she’s so busy). On the other hand, I’m happy that Howard is j...

Floor filler

As I posted recently, I’m involved in a couple of events, later this summer: our annual Summer School and the new(er) tradition of the R for HTA workshop. I have to say that I’m very happy about how things are proceeding for both of them. The summer school has been first advertise a few months back (I’ve posted on the blog, but we’ve also...

Changes in BCEA

26.03.2019

I’ve just updated the GitHub’s version of BCEA. Andrea has done, as usual, some very nice work – this time he’s mainly focussed on the graphical engine underlying the graphs produced by BCEA to post-process the outcome of the economic model. The main changes are the following: Added plot rendering via plotly (using the command graph=“p...
