add_cost: Defining costs for events and intervention

In Roche/descem: Discrete Event Simulation for Cost-Effectiveness Modelling

Defining costs for events and intervention

Description

Defining costs for events and intervention

Usage

add_cost(.data = NULL, cost, evt, trt, cycle_l = NULL, cycle_starttime = 0)

Arguments

.data	Existing cost data
cost	Value or expression to calculate the cost estimate
evt	Vector of events for which this cost is applicable
trt	Vector of interventions for which this cost is applicable
cycle_l	Cycle length; only needed if costs are calculated per cycle
cycle_starttime	Cycle when costs start being accrued; only needed if costs are calculated per cycle

Details

Costs can be defined by writing expressions and objects in the cost argument whose execution will be delayed until the model runs.

This function accepts the use of pipes (%>%) to define multiple costs.

Value

A list of costs

Examples

add_cost(evt = c("start","idfs","ttot"),trt = "int",cost = cost.int*fl.int + cost.idfs)
