Extended CaptureTB outpatient visit overhead cost model with more covariates.

unitcost_ohd_extended.Rd

This function loads a JAGSModel model object using default covariates and priors. This can be used to predict the total cost of a single outpatient visit at a given facility or facilities via the predict method. This model is not pre-fitted, so requires JAGS to be installed to fit and use.

Usage

unitcost_ohd_extended(cost_type = "ECON")

Arguments

cost_type

One of "ECON" or "FIN". If "ECON", model for economic costs is returned. If "FIN", model for financial costs is returned. Default "ECON".

Value

An object of class JAGSModel.

Details

Note that numerical covariates are centered. When making predictions with the model, the function prepare_covariates() can be used to transform raw variables using the correct centering values.
