This function generates and saves plots comparing fitted distributions to reference data for risks, QALYs, and costs across different age groups.

plot_economics_fit(object)

Arguments

object

An S4 object containing economic data and model outcomes.

Value

None. The function saves the generated plots to the specified directory.

Details

The function performs the following steps:

  • Checks if the directory for saving plots exists, and creates it if it doesn't.

  • Extracts unique age groups from the economic data.

  • Defines a helper function to extract mean and 95% uncertainty intervals for model outcomes.

  • Extracts fitted model outcomes for risks, QALYs, and costs.

  • Prepares data frames for risks, QALYs, and costs by merging reference data with fitted model outcomes.

  • Defines a helper function to convert data frames to long format for plotting.

  • Converts the prepared data frames to long format.

  • Generates and saves plots comparing fitted model outcomes to reference data for risks, QALYs, and costs.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
  plot_economics_fit(my_economic_model)
} # }
