An efficient method for computing single-parameter partial expected value of perfect information.
The value of learning an uncertain input in a decision model can be quantified by its partial expected value of perfect information (EVPI). This is commonly estimated via a 2-level nested Monte Carlo procedure in which the parameter of interest is sampled in an outer loop, and then conditional on this sampled value, the remaining parameters are sampled in an inner loop. This 2-level method can ...
متن کاملAn efficient method for computing partial expected value of perfect information for correlated inputs
The value of learning an uncertain input in a decision model can be quantified by its partial expected value of perfect information (EVPI). This is commonly estimated via a two level nested Monte Carlo procedure in which the parameter of interest is sampled in an outer loop, and then conditional on this sampled value the remaining parameters are sampled in an inner loop. This two level method c...
متن کاملNeed for speed: an efficient algorithm for calculation of single-parameter expected value of partial perfect information.
BACKGROUND The expected value of partial perfect information (EVPPI) is a theoretically justifiable and informative measure of uncertainty in decision-analytic cost-effectiveness models, but its calculation is computationally intensive because it generally requires two-level Monte Carlo simulation. We introduce an efficient, one-level simulation method for the calculation of single-parameter EV...
متن کاملStrategies for Efficient Computation of the Expected Value of Partial Perfect Information
Expected value of information methods evaluate the potential health benefits that can be obtained from conducting new research to reduce uncertainty in the parameters of a cost-effectiveness analysis model, hence reducing decision uncertainty. Expected value of partial perfect information (EVPPI) provides an upper limit to the health gains that can be obtained from conducting a new study on a s...
متن کاملAn optimal analytical method for nonlinear boundary value problems based on method of variation of parameter
In this paper, the authors present a modified convergent analytic algorithm for the solution of nonlinear boundary value problems by means of a variable parameter method and briefly, the method is called optimal variable parameter method. This method, based on the embedding of a parameter and an auxiliary operator, provides a computational advantage for the convergence of the approximate soluti...
