<p><span>We’ve just received a picture of the cover of the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.statistica.it/gianluca/BCEA">BCEA</a> book, which is really, really close to being finally published!</span><br><span><br></span><span>I did mention this in a few other posts (for example <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://gianlubaio.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/bcea-in-user.html">here</a> and <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://gianlubaio.blogspot.co.uk/2016/07/finish-line-nearly.html">here</a>) and it has been in fact a rather long process, so much so that I have made a point of joking in my talks about BCEA that we’d be publishing the book in 2036 $-$ so we’re in fact nearly 20 years early…</span><br><span><br></span><span>The official <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.springer.com/us/book/9783319557168">book website</a> is actually already online and I’ll prepare <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.statistica.it/gianluca/BCEA_book">another one</a> (I know, I know $-$ it’s empty for now!), where we’ll put all the relevant material (examples, code, etc).</span><br><span><br></span><span>I think this may be very helpful for practitioners and our ambition is to make the use of BCEA as wide as possible among health economists $-$ even those who do not currently use <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://cran.r-project.org/">R</a>. The final chapter of the book also presents our <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://egon.stats.ucl.ac.uk/projects/BCEAweb/">BCEAweb</a> application, which can do (almost everything!) that the actual package can (the nice thing about it is that the computational engine is stored on a remote server and so the user does not even need to have R installed on their machine).</span><br><span><br></span><span>We’ll probably have to make this part of the next edition of our <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.statistica.it/gianluca/bayes-hecourse">summer school</a>…</span></p>
