About this Event
SMDM Innovate brings you cutting edge methods in the field of medical decision making. In this 1-hour webinar, learn about a newly developed, innovative approach for simplifying time-dependent Markov Models.
Classic decision and cost-effectiveness analyses often involve repetitive code that complicates debugging and updating. In this webinar, I’ll introduce the twig R package—a new approach that uses a “Grammar of Modeling” to streamline model construction, minimize repetition, and boost transparency.
We’ll also demo DecisionTwig, a point-and-click interface that helps you build twig syntax interactively: https://www.dashlab.ca/projects/decision_twig/
Whether you’re a modeler or a decision analyst, join us to explore how twig can simplify your workflow and accelerate your analyses.
