Given the results of a Bayesian model (possibly based on MCMC) in the form of
simulations from the posterior distributions of suitable variables of costs and clinical
benefits for two or more interventions, produces a health economic evaluation. Compares
one of the interventions (the "reference") to the others ("comparators"). Produces many
summary and plots to analyse the results
