Recently, a number of papers have brought up the issue of how to make cost-effectiveness (CE) studies stochastic, i.e. how to obtain confidence intervals for CE ratios. In this note we present a bootstrap procedure for estimating bias-corrected confidence intervals for CE ratios. The bootstrap proce
We evaluated four methods for computing confidence intervals for cost-effectiveness ratios developed from randomized controlled trials: the box method, the Taylor series method, the nonparametric bootstrap method and the Fieller theorem method. We performed a Monte Carlo experiment to compare these
The statistic of interest in most health economic evaluations is the incremental cost-e!ectiveness ratio. Since the variance of a ratio estimator is intractable, the health economics literature has suggested a number of alternative approaches to estimating con"dence intervals for the cost-e!ectivene
In a recent paper, Laska, Meisner and Siegel address issues concerning hypothesis testing in cost-effectiveness analysis. They relate the relative magnitude of two average cost-effectiveness ratios to the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio and go on to propose a statistical procedure for testing t
