The statistical analysis of cost-effectiveness data is becoming increasingly important within health and medical research.
Statistical Analysis of Cost-Effectiveness Data provides a practical book that synthesises the huge amount of research that has taken place in the area over the last two decades.

- an overview of statistical methods used in the analysis of cost-effectiveness data.
- coverage of Bayesian methodology.
- illustrated throughout by worked examples using real data.
- suitability for health care professionals with limited statistical knowledge.
