Univariate Analysis of Cost (or QALYs)

The .zip file on this page contains a .do file, a data set, and documentation for performing univariate analysis of cost (or any other continuous variable). The .do file provides code that is tailored to the specific data set that is provided, but can be modified for any data set. The worked example is for analysis of cost, but can be modified for the analysis of any continuous variable.

Unlike the .do files on the sampling uncertainty and sample size pages, “Doing†the .do file here performs calculations and produces a .log file.

The data set here is the same as the data set provided on the sampling uncertainty tab.

For background about univariate analysis of cost, chapter5 in Glick, et al., Economic Evaluation in Clinical Trials, the lecture on cost analysis in the EPI 550 Medical Decision Making and Clinical Economics and Lectures by Invitation tabs, or articles on cost analysis cited in the Publications tab.
