Programmes by Topic

Building on key concepts introduced in the first course, this course moves students from modelling in Excel, which is necessary to ensure a basic understanding of cost-effectiveness analysis, to modelling in TreeAge Pro, which is a specialized software that offers a range of built-in functions for more sophisticated models that are easier to produce than coding in Excel although often with less transparency. Using TreeAge Pro we will expose students to probabilistic sensitivity analyses, cost-effectiveness acceptability curves, and more sophisticated modelling strategies, including microsimulation and time-to-event models.

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

• Use TreeAge Pro to construct decision trees and Markov cohort models, extend the basic Markov models to allow time dependence
• To build microsimulation and discrete event simulation models that account for population heterogeneity, path dependence, or multiple time-varying event rates
  

 

This course is part of the Graduate Certificate in Health Economic Evaluation

 

As part of the micro-credential initiative, you may choose to take this course alone if you do not wish to take the full Graduate Certificate program.
