DALY-package: The DALY Calculator -- A GUI for stochastic DALY calculation in R
Description
The DALY Calculator is a free, open-source Graphical User Interface (GUI)
for stochastic disability-adjusted life year (DALY) calculation,
developed in the Renvironment for statistical computing.
The main goal of the DALY Calculator is to provide a flexible and
easy-to-use tool for DALY calculation, and to promote consistency in the
uncertainty analysis of DALYs.Details
