The book has been fully updated to reflect the enhancements to this key package.In addition to methodology, the book also contains a brand new chapter on regression models for health care costs, thus broadening the book's readership to those working on risk adjustment and health technology appraisal. The text also fully reflects the very latest advances in the health economics field and the key journal literature"--Provided by publisher.
