Decision Making: P-value Method

7.1K
The process of hypothesis testing based on the P-value method includes calculating the P- value using the sample data and interpreting it.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim  is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses:  a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can...

Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Algorithms for Numerical Problem Solving

380
Mechanistic models play a crucial role in algorithms for numerical problem-solving, particularly in nonlinear mixed effects modeling (NMEM). These models aim to minimize specific objective functions by evaluating various parameter estimates, leading to the development of systematic algorithms. In some cases, linearization techniques approximate the model using linear equations.
In individual population analyses, different algorithms are employed, such as Cauchy's method, which uses a...

Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Individual and Population Analysis

316
Mechanistic models are utilized in individual analysis using single-source data, but imperfections arise due to data collection errors, preventing perfect prediction of observed data. The mathematical equation involves known values (Xi), observed concentrations (Ci), measurement errors (εi), model parameters (ϕj), and the related function (ƒi) for i number of values. Different least-squares metrics quantify differences between predicted and observed values. The ordinary least...

Introduction To Survival Analysis

911
Survival analysis is a statistical method used to study time-to-event data, where the "event" might represent outcomes like death, disease relapse, system failure, or recovery. A unique feature of survival data is censoring, which occurs when the event of interest has not been observed for some individuals during the study period. This requires specialized techniques to handle incomplete data effectively.
The primary goal of survival analysis is to estimate survival time—the time...

Decision Making: Traditional Method

5.6K
The process of hypothesis testing based on the traditional method includes calculating the critical value, testing the value of the test statistic using the sample data, and interpreting these values.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is decided based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to this claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses, out of which a null hypothesis would be a...

Mechanistic Models: Overview of Compartment Models

457
Mechanistic models, a category encompassing both physiological and compartmental modeling, differ from empirical models' approaches to incorporating known factors about the systems being modeled. Empirical models describe data with minimal assumptions, while mechanistic models aim to provide a robust description of available data by specifying assumptions and integrating known factors about the system. Compartmental analysis is a key example of a mechanistic model in pharmacokinetics and...

Area of Science:

  • Health economics
  • Decision analysis modeling

Background:

  • Existing guidance on health economic modeling is comprehensive but can be complex for beginners.
  • There is a need for a simplified, practical resource to support novice modelers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create a beginner's guide for health economic modeling.
  • The guide is intended as a contemporaneous tool during the model development process.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of 32 best practice guidelines to establish a model development framework.
  • Focused methods reviews and consensus among model developers to refine guide content.
  • Validation of the guide through independent development of cost-effectiveness models.

Main Results:

  • A framework of model development steps was identified from 32 guidelines.
  • Eight sub-methods across five phases of model development were detailed.
  • The beginner's guide was finalized through consensus and validated via model development.

Conclusions:

  • A step-by-step beginner's guide for decision-analytical cost-effectiveness models was created.
  • The guide integrates systematic review, methods review, consensus, and validation.
  • It supports novice modelers through all stages: problem definition to reporting.
