The [markov](https://roche.github.io/descem/articles/example_markov.html) example shows how to run a cohort Markov model while using the same modeling framework. Similarly, a simulation based Markov model could be run. Structural and parametric uncertainty are explored in the [corresponding vignette](https://roche.github.io/descem/articles/example_uncertainty.html). The [IPD vignette](https://roche.github.io/descem/articles/example_ipd.html) shows how descem can be used when individual patient data is available.\n\n## Documentation\n\nHave a look at the [package home site](https://roche.github.io/descem/index.html) for more details on documentation and specific tutorials.\n\nFor more details on the code, check our [Github repository](https://github.com/Roche/descem).\n\n## Installation\n\n`descem` can the be installed directly from this repo via\n\n``` r\n# install.packages(\"devtools\")\ndevtools::install_github(\"roche/descem\", ref=\"main\")\n```\n\n## Citation\n\nIf you use `descem`, please contact the authors for the most up to date appropiate citation.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Froche%2Fdescem","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Froche%2Fdescem","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Froche%2Fdescem/lists"}
