Handling uncertainty in cost-effectiveness modelsA H Briggs
Health Economics Research Centre, University of Oxford, England
Pharmacoeconomics 17:479-500. 2000..Such probabilistic analyses are related to parameter uncertainty. In addition, modelling uncertainty is likely to add a further layer of uncertainty to the results of particular analyses...

An introduction to Markov modelling for economic evaluationA Briggs
Health Economics Research Centre, Institute of Health Sciences, University of Oxford, England
Pharmacoeconomics 13:397-409. 1998..Analysts should be aware of the limitations of Markov models, particularly the Markovian assumption, although the adept modeller will often find ways around this problem...
A Bayesian approach to stochastic cost-effectiveness analysisA H Briggs
Health Economics Research Centre, University of Oxford, Headington, UK
Health Econ 8:257-61. 1999..Although it is argued that their interpretation as the probability that an intervention is cost-effective given the data requires a Bayesian interpretation, this should generate no misgivings for the frequentist...
