The book provides a description of the process of health economic evaluation and modelling for
cost-effectiveness analysis particularly from the perspective of a Bayesian statistical
approach. Some relevant theory and introductory concepts are presented using practical examples
and two running case studies. The book also describes in detail how to perform health economic
evaluations using the R package BCEA (Bayesian Cost-Effectiveness Analysis). BCEA can be used
to post-process the results of a Bayesian cost-effectiveness model and perform advanced
analyses producing standardised and highly customisable outputs. It presents all the features
of the package including its many functions and their practical application as well as its
user-friendly web interface. The book is a valuable resource for statisticians and
practitioners working in the field of health economics wanting to simplify and standardise
their workflow for example in the preparation of dossiers in support of marketing
authorisation or academic and scientific publications.
