Parameter Converter and Calculator for Health Technology Assessment

v1.4.0 · Mar 30, 2026 · MIT + file LICENSE

Description

An interactive 'shiny' application for Health Technology Assessment (HTA) parameter estimation. Converts between rates, probabilities, odds, and hazard ratios (HR); extrapolates survival curves (Exponential, Weibull, Log-Logistic); fits probabilistic sensitivity analysis (PSA) distributions (Beta, Gamma, LogNormal, Dirichlet) via the method of moments; calculates incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs), net monetary benefit (NMB), value-based pricing, and budget impact; adjusts costs for inflation, discounting, and purchasing power parity (PPP) across 30 countries; and adjusts background mortality using life-table methods. Designed for researchers building cost-effectiveness and budget-impact models who need auditable, formula-documented parameter transformations. Methods include Zhang and Yu (1998) <doi:10.1001/jama.280.19.1690> for odds ratio (OR) to relative risk (RR) conversion and Chinn (2000, Statistics in Medicine, 19, 3127-3131) for effect-size transformations.
