#'An internal function to select which type of hurdle model to execute for both effectiveness and costs. 

#'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.
#' @keywords JAGS Hurdle models
#' @param dist_e Distribution assumed for the effects. Current available chocies are: Normal ('norm'), Beta ('beta'), Gamma ('gamma'), Exponential ('exp'),
#' Weibull ('weibull'), Logistic ('logis'), Poisson ('pois'), Negative Binomial ('nbinom') or Bernoulli ('bern')
#' @param dist_c Distribution assumed for the costs. Current available chocies are: Normal ('norm'), Gamma ('gamma') or LogNormal ('lnorm')
#' @param ind_fixed Logical; if TRUE independence at the level of the fixed effects between effectiveness and costs is assumed, else correlation is accounted for
#' @param ind_random Logical; if TRUE independence at the level of the random effects between effectiveness and costs is assumed, else correlation is accounted for
#' @param type Type of structural value mechanism assumed. Choices are Structural Completely At Random (SCAR) and Structural At Random (SAR)
#' @param pe_fixed Number of fixed effects for the effectiveness model
#' @param pc_fixed Number of fixed effects for the cost model
#' @param ze_fixed Number of fixed effects or the structural indicators model for the effectiveness
#' @param zc_fixed Number of fixed effects or the structural indicators model for the costs
#' @param pe_random Number of random effects for the effectiveness model

#' @param ze_random Number of random effects or the structural indicators model for the effectiveness
#' @param zc_random Number of random effects or the structural indicators model for the costs
#' @param model_e_random Random effects formula for the effectiveness model
#' @param model_c_random Random effects formula for the costs model
#' @param model_se_random Random effects formula for the structural indicators model for the effectiveness
