Bayesian Cost-Effectiveness Analysis with the R package BCEA

General/overall files

This contains a set of functions and scripts that can be used to run the various examples described in the book.

General functions

• Utils.R: a utility script including several functions used to pre- and post-process data and output. NB: These are superseded by the package bmhe.

Vaccine example

• LoadData.R: a script to load the data example.
• vaccine.txt: a JAGS/BUGS script to run the model.
• RunMCMC.R: a script to run the MCMC model (using either JAGS or BUGS).
• vaccine.RData: the R workspace with the processed output.

Smoking cessation example

• smoking_data.csv: a spreadsheet with the data.
• smoking_model_RE.R: a R script including the code to run the JAGS/BUGS model described in Chapter 2.

Chemotherapy example

• chemo_PSA.Rdata: a R object with the PSA simulations for the Chemotherapy example in Chapter 4.

Spreadsheets to run BCEAweb()

• vaccine_parameters.csv: A spreadsheet with the simulated values for all the model parameters in the Vaccine example
• vaccine_results.csv: A spreadsheet with the PSA simulations for the relevant effects and costs in the Vaccine example
• smoking_parameters.csv: A spreadsheet with the simulated values for all the model parameters in the Smoking cessation example
• smoking_results.csv: A spreadsheet with the PSA simulations for the relevant effects and costs in the Smoking cessation example
