Summarize costs and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) given output simulated
from an economic model. The summary output is used to perform
cost-effectiveness analysis with icea() and icea_pw().
summarize_ce(costs, qalys, by_grp = FALSE)Simulated costs by category (objects of class costs).
Simulated QALYs (objects of class qalys).
If TRUE, then costs and QALYs are computed by subgroup. If
FALSE, then costs and QALYs are aggregated across all patients (and subgroups).
An object of class ce.
If mean costs and/or QALYs have already been computed
(i.e., an average within a population), then there
must be one observation for each discount rate (dr),
PSA sample (sample), treatment strategy (strategy_id),
and health state (state_id). Alternatively, there can be a column
denoting a patient (patient_id), in which case outcomes will first be
averaged across patients. A grp_id column can also be used so that
outcomes are computed for each subgroup (if by_grp = TRUE); otherwise it is assumed that
there is only one subgroup.
