york.course.excel.model.in.R

The package york.course.excel.model.in.R is an R implementation of the MS Excel Markov model, titled Markov Modelling and Probabilistic Sensitivity Analysis for Cost-Effectiveness Modelling of Health Care Interventions by Andrew Briggs, Health Economics Research Centre, University of Oxford.

Installation

You can install the current version of york.course.excel.model.in.R from GitHub with:

remotes::install_github("n8thangreen/york.course.excel.model.in.R")

Background

The model outlined in the spreadsheet was used to illustrate the principles of Markov modelling and probabilistic sensitivity analysis in the following two papers:

Briggs A, Sculpher M. Introducing Markov models for economic evaluation. PharmacoEconomics 1998; 13(4): 397-409.

Briggs AH. Handling uncertainty in cost-effectiveness models.PharmacoEconomics 2000 (forthcoming).

The model is made available for non-commercial teaching purposes only.
