Bootstrapping: estimating confidence intervals for cost-effectiveness ratios.
Economic evaluations are increasingly being conducted alongside clinical trials of health interventions, with resource consequences being estimated from stochastic data. It is, therefore, important that economic evaluation results, like the clinical results, reflect the underlying variance within the sample data. A statistical methodology, known as bootstrapping, has recently been put forward a...
متن کاملEstimating incremental cost-effectiveness ratios and their confidence intervals with different terminating events for survival time and costs.
Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) is an important component of the economic evaluation of new treatment options. In many clinical and observational studies of costs, censored data pose challenges to the CEA. We consider a special situation where the terminating events for the survival time and costs are different. Traditional methods for statistical inference offer no means for dealing with cen...
متن کاملConfidence intervals for cost-effectiveness ratios: a comparison of four methods.
We evaluated four methods for computing confidence intervals for cost-effectiveness ratios developed from randomized controlled trials: the box method, the Taylor series method, the nonparametric bootstrap method and the Fieller theorem method. We performed a Monte Carlo experiment to compare these methods. We investigated the relative performance of each method and assessed whether or not it w...
متن کاملConfidence intervals in QTL mapping by bootstrapping.
The determination of empirical confidence intervals for the location of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) was investigated using simulation. Empirical confidence intervals were calculated using a bootstrap resampling method for a backcross population derived from inbred lines. Sample sizes were either 200 or 500 individuals, and the QTL explained 1, 5, or 10% of the phenotypic variance. The method...
متن کاملBootstrapping with Models: Confidence Intervals for Off-Policy Evaluation
In many reinforcement learning applications executing a poor policy may be costly or even dangerous. Thus, it is desirable to determine confidence interval lower bounds on the performance of any given policy without executing said policy. Current methods for high confidence off-policy evaluation require a substantial amount of data to achieve a tight lower bound, while existing model-based meth...
