Calculate the ICER and Plot the Efficiency Frontier
Description
The app will calculate the ICER (incremental cost-effectiveness ratio) (Rawlins, 2012) doi: 10.1016/B978-0-7020-4084-9.00044-6 from the mean costs and quality-adjusted life years (QALY) (Torrance and Feeny, 2009) doi: 10.1017/S0266462300008461 for a set of treatment options, and draw the efficiency frontier in the costs-effectiveness plane. The app automatically identifies and excludes dominated and extended-dominated options from the ICER calculation.
Usage
icertool()

Examples
if (interactive()){
data.0 <- as.data.frame(read_excel("icer.xlsx"))
cq<-myicer(data.0)
my_ce <- ce_plot(data.0,cq)
my_ce + theme(text = element_text(size = 12)) + geom_text_repel()
cq
