AM06: Cost-Effectiveness Analysis with Probabilistic Graphical Models
(Event: SMDM 42nd Annual Meeting: Virtual Meeting)

Oct 13, 2020 9:00AM - Oct 13, 2020 12:30PM
Session Type: Short Course- AM 1/2 Day

Description
Background
Participants in this course will learn how to build Bayesian networks, influence diagrams, decision analysis networks, and the Markovian extensions of these models to solve problems of medical diagnosis and cost-effectiveness analysis using OpenMarkov, an open-source tool.
Course Type
Half Day
Course Level
Intermediate
Format Requirements

This course assumes that the participants are familiar with the basic concepts of probabilistic diagnosis and cost-effectiveness analysis. They should bring their own laptops with the most recent version of OpenMarkov, which is available at www.openmarkov.org. The materials for the course (schedule, slides, exercises, bibliography, links, etc.) will be available before its beginning at www.cisiad.uned.es/cursos/SMDM-2020-PGMs.

Description & Objectives
The purpose of this course is to introduce probabilistic graphical models and illustrate, by means of hands-on exercises, how to apply them to medical decision analysis using OpenMarkov, an open-source tool. In particular, participants will learn how to:
  • build Bayesian networks for medical diagnosis and compare them with naive Bayes models;
  • build decision analysis networks for unicriterion and cost-effectiveness analysis and compare them with decision trees;
  • build Markov influence diagrams for cost-effectiveness analysis and compare them with spreadsheets, Markov decision trees, and discrete event simulation.

The course will also present other temporal models, such as Markov decision processes (fully and partially observable) and dynamic limited-memory influence diagrams.

The materials for the course (schedule, slides, exercises, bibliography, links, etc.) will be available before its beginning at www.cisiad.uned.es/cursos/SMDM-2020-PGMs.
