ICEalice Functions to compute and display ICE Acceptability Curves.
ICEcolor Compute Preferences for Outcomes in a Bootstrap ICE Distribution that are within a Confidence Wedge
ICEepmap Set Parameter values that define an ICE Economic Preference Map
ICEomega Set Parameter values that define an ICE Economic Preference Map
ICEscale ICEscale() functions compute or print ICE Statistical Inference Summary Statistics relative to choice for the numerical value of the Shadow Price of Health, lambda.
ICEuncrt Compute the Bootstrap Distribution of ICE Uncertainty for a specified value of the Shadow Price of Health, lambda.
ICEwedge ICEwedge() functions calculate and display an Equivariant Wedge-Shaped Confidence Region with stated Statistical Confidence Level in the range: 0.50 <= conf <= 0.99.
