title: 'ParCC: Parameter Converter and Calculator for Health Technology Assessment'
version: 1.4.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.ParCC
abstract: An interactive 'shiny' application for Health Technology Assessment (HTA)
  parameter estimation. Converts between rates, probabilities, odds, and hazard ratios;
  extrapolates survival curves (Exponential, Weibull, Log-Logistic); fits PSA distributions
  (Beta, Gamma, LogNormal, Dirichlet) via the method of moments; calculates ICERs,
  net monetary benefit, 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) <https://doi.org/10.1001/jama.280.19.1690>
  for OR-to-RR conversion and Chinn (2000, Statistics in Medicine, 19, 3127-3131)
  for effect-size transformations.
