In missingHE: Missing Outcome Data in Health Economic Evaluation

An internal function to select which type of hurdle model to execute. Alternatives vary depending on the type of distribution assumed for the effect and cost variables, type of structural value mechanism assumed and independence or joint modelling This function selects which type of model to execute.

Description

An internal function to select which type of hurdle model to execute. Alternatives vary depending on the type of distribution assumed for the effect and cost variables, type of structural value mechanism assumed and independence or joint modelling This function selects which type of model to execute.

Usage

write_hurdle(dist_e, dist_c, type, model_txt_info)

Arguments

dist_e	Distribution assumed for the effects. Current available choices are: Normal ('norm'), Beta ('beta'), Gamma ('gamma'), Exponential ('exp'), Weibull ('weib'), Logistic ('logis'), Poisson ('pois'), Negative Binomial ('negbin') or Bernoulli ('bern')
dist_c	Distribution assumed for the costs. Current available choices are: Normal ('norm'), Gamma ('gamma') or LogNormal ('lnorm')
type	Type of structural value mechanism assumed. Choices are Structural Completely At Random (SCAR) and Structural At Random (SAR).
model_txt_info	list containing model specification information used to write the txt file of the JAGS model.
