Description: An interactive 'shiny' application for Health Technology
        Assessment (HTA) parameter estimation. Converts between rates,
        probabilities, odds, and hazard ratios (HR); extrapolates
        survival curves (Exponential, Weibull, Log-Logistic); fits
        probabilistic sensitivity analysis (PSA) distributions (Beta,
        Gamma, LogNormal, Dirichlet) via the method of moments;
        calculates incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs), net
        monetary benefit (NMB), value-based pricing, and budget impact;
        adjusts costs for inflation, discounting, and purchasing power
        parity (PPP) across 30 countries; and adjusts background
        mortality using life-table methods. Designed for researchers
        building cost-effectiveness and budget-impact models who need
        auditable, formula-documented parameter transformations.
        Methods include Zhang and Yu (1998)
        <doi:10.1001/jama.280.19.1690> for odds ratio (OR) to relative
        risk (RR) conversion and Chinn (2000, Statistics in Medicine,
        19, 3127-3131) for effect-size transformations.
