Overview

About

Maintained by Robert SmithFirst published 2025-04-242 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Designed to help health economic modellers when building and reviewing models. The visualisation functions allow users to more easily review the network of functions in a project, and get lay summaries of them. The asserts included are intended to check for common errors, thereby freeing up time for modellers to focus on tests specific to the individual model in development or review. For more details see Smith and colleagues (2024)doi:10.12688/wellcomeopenres.23180.1.
