  <dc:title>Parameter Converter and Calculator for Health Technology
Assessment</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package ParCC version 1.4.0</dc:title>
  <dc: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)
    &lt;doi:10.1001/jama.280.19.1690&gt; for odds ratio (OR) to relative
    risk (RR) conversion and Chinn (2000, Statistics in Medicine, 19,
    3127-3131) for effect-size transformations.</dc:description>
