BACKGROUND Conventionally, parametric models were used for health state valuation data. Recently, researchers started to explore the use of nonparametric Bayesian methods in this area. OBJECTIVES We present a nonparametric Bayesian model to estimate a preference-based index for two condition-specific five-dimensional health state classifications, one for asthma (five-dimensional Asthma Qualit...
