Continuous Time Simulation and Discretized Models for Cost-Effectiveness Analysis

Soares, Marta O.; Canto e Castro, Lusa - In: PharmacoEconomics 30 (2012) 12, pp. 1101-1117

The design of decision-analytic models for cost-effectiveness analysis has been the subject of discussion. The current work addresses this issue by noting that, when time is to be explicitly modelled, we need to represent phenomena occurring in continuous time. Models evaluated in continuous...
