Summary Method for Objects of Class pairwise

Produces a table printout with some summary results of the health economic evaluation.

Usage

# S3 method for pairwise
summary(object, wtp = 25000, ...)

Arguments

object: A pairwise object containing the results of the Bayesian modelling and the economic evaluation.
wtp: The value of the willingness to pay threshold used in the summary table.
...: Additional arguments affecting the summary produced.

Value

Prints a summary table with some information on the health economic output and synthetic information on the economic measures (EIB, CEAC, EVPI).
