## Abstract We consider the problem of assessing new and existing technologies for their cost‐effectiveness in the case where data on both costs and effects are available from a clinical trial, and we address it by means of the cost‐effectiveness acceptability curve. The main difficulty in these an
Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) compares the costs and outcomes of two or more technologies. However, there is no consensus about which measure of effectiveness should be used in each analysis. Clinical researchers have to select an appropriate outcome for their purpose, and this choice can have d
We describe a method for estimating the cost-effectiveness of a new treatment compared to a standard, using data from a comparative clinical trial. We quantify the clinical effectiveness as a binary variable indicating success or failure. The underlying statistical model assumes that costs are uncen
This article deals with a fully Bayesian approach to describe the cyclical behaviour of a univariate time series. A damped sine wave where both the period and the damping factor are time varying is assumed as the underlying mathematical model for the cyclical component. The model is applied to two r
