INES: Interactive tool for construction and extrapolation of partitioned survival models.

ABSTRACT:

Background

INES (INteractive model for Extrapolation of Survival and cost) provides an open-access tool powered by R that implements three-state partitioned survival models (PSM). This article describes the properties of the tool, and the situations where INES may or may not be suitable.

Methods

INES is designed to be used by investigators or healthcare professionals who have a good grasp of the principles of economic evaluation and understand the strengths and weaknesses of partitioned survival models, but are not sufficiently familiar with a statistical package such as Excel or R to be able to construct and test a de-novo PSM themselves. INES is delivered to the user via a batch file. Once downloaded to the user's hard drive, it interacts with the user via a portable versi
