The book provides a description of the process of health economic evaluation and modelling for cost-effectiveness analysis, particularly from the perspective of a Bayesian statistical approach. Some relevant theory and introductory concepts are presented using practical examples and two running case studies. The book also describes in detail how to perform health economic evaluations using the R package BCEA (Bayesian Cost-Effectiveness Analysis). BCEA can be used to post-process the results of a Bayesian cost-effectiveness model and perform advanced analyses producing standardized and highly customizable outputs. It presents all the features of the package, including its many functions and their practical application, as well as its user-friendly web interface. The book is a valuable resource for statisticians and practitioners working in the field of health economics wanting to simplify and standardize their workflow, for example in the preparation of dossiers in support of marketing authorization, or academic and scientific publications. This new edition includes a more streamlined description of examples and programming, focusing on the newest release of the BCEA package and recent work on Value of Information.
Gianluca Baio is a Professor of Statistics and Health Economics in the Department of Statistical Science at University College London (UK). Gianluca graduated in Statistics and Economics from the University of Florence (Italy). He then completed a PhD programme in Applied Statistics again at the University of Florence, after a period at the Program on the Pharmaceutical Industry at the MIT Sloan School of Management, Cambridge (USA); he then worked as a Research Fellow and then Lecturer in the Department of Statistical Science at University College London (UK). Gianluca's main interests are in Bayesian statistical modelling for cost effectiveness analysis and decision-making problems in the health systems, hierarchical/multilevel models and causal inference using the decision-theoretic approach. Gianluca leads the Statistics for Health Economic Evaluation research group within the department of Statistical Science and was the co-director of UCL MSc Programme in Health Economics and Decision Science. His research activity is now (almost) officially dead, since he has become the head of the department of Statistical Science at UCL, in 2021.
Andrea Berardi is a Vice President at Precision AQ with experience in conducting complex statistical and health economic analyses across several disease areas. Andrea designed and conducted analyses of clinical trial data, evidence synthesis analyses, built cost-effectiveness and budget impact models, and supported health technology assessment (HTA) submissions to European countries. Andrea is also an experienced designer and programmer of web applications for health economics, having designed and developed several web interfaces to economic models, statistical analyses, and market access tools using R/Shiny. Andrea graduated with an MSc in Biostatistics and Experimental Statistics with a focus on Bayesian methods in health economics from the University of Milan-Bicocca. Before joining Precision, Andrea was a Principal Consultant at PAREXEL, and before then he was the Health Economics Lead of the Evidence Assessment Group (EAG) at the British Medical Journal Technology Assessment Group (BMJ-TAG).
Dr. Anna Heath is a Scientist at The Hospital for Sick Children, with affiliations at the University of Toronto and University College London. Her research aims to develop innovative statistical methods to design, prioritise and analyse clinical research within a Bayesian framework, with a focus on Value of Information methods.
Dr. Nathan Green studied Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne and completed a PhD in Applied Probability at the University of Liverpool. After several years working at the UK Ministry of Defence, where he applied novel Bayesian inference methods to real-world problems, he returned to academia in 2010 to focus on public health research. Dr Green is currently a Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Statistical Science at University College London, having previously worked across government and academic sectors on a wide range of topics, including oncology, tuberculosis, healthcare-associated infections, and sexually transmitted infections. His research interests span health economics, survival analysis, evidence synthesis, and epidemiology, with a particular emphasis on Bayesian statistical modelling. He is also an enthusiastic R programmer, with a focus on developing reproducible and innovative approaches to statistical analysis in health research.

Instructions for revocation
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
