Title: Incremental Cost-Effectiveness (ICE) Statistical Inference from
Two Unbiased Samples
Author: Bob Obenchain <wizbob@att.net>
Maintainer: Bob Obenchain <wizbob@att.net>
Depends: R (>= 2.5.0), lattice
Description: Given two unbiased samples of patient level data on cost
and effectiveness for a pair of treatments, make head-to-head
treatment comparisons by (i) generating the bivariate bootstrap
resampling distribution of ICE uncertainty for a specified
value of the shadow price of health, lambda, (ii) form the
wedge-shaped ICE confidence region with specified confidence
fraction within [0.50, 0.99] that is equivariant with respect
to changes in lambda, (iii) color the bootstrap outcomes within
the above confidence wedge with economic preferences from an
ICE map with specified values of lambda, beta and gamma
parameters, (iv) display VAGR and ALICE acceptability curves,
and (v) illustrate variation in ICE preferences by displaying
potentially non-linear indifference(iso-preference) curves from
an ICE map with specified values of lambda, beta and gamma or
eta parameters.

Description: ICGE is a package that helps to estimate the number of real clusters in data as well as to identify atypical units. The underlying methods are based on distances rather than on unit x variables.
