ParCC 1.4.0
New Modules
- Budget Impact Analysis – 5-year BIA framework with
population sizing, uptake curves, and discounting (ISPOR Good Practice
guidelines).
- PPP Currency Converter – Purchasing Power Parity
conversion across 30 countries (World Bank 2022 ICP data), market
exchange rate comparison, and WHO-CHOICE WTP threshold assessment (1x
and 3x GDP per capita).
New Conversions
- OR to RR / RR to OR – Convert between Odds Ratios
and Relative Risks using baseline risk (Zhang & Yu 1998
method).
- Effect Size Transformations – Convert between SMD
and log(OR) using the Chinn (2000) formula for network meta-analysis
preparation.
- Standalone NNT/NNH Calculator – Calculate Number
Needed to Treat from four input modes: ARR, RR + baseline, OR +
baseline, or direct probabilities.
- Log-rank to HR – Estimate Hazard Ratios from
published log-rank chi-square or p-value using the Peto
approximation.
New Distributions and Models
- Dirichlet Distribution – Fit Dirichlet parameters
for multinomial transition probabilities in Markov models (via Gamma
decomposition).
- Log-Logistic Survival – Third survival
extrapolation option with non-monotonic (hump-shaped) hazard
support.
- Annuity / PV Stream Calculator – Present value of
recurring annual costs (ordinary annuity and annuity due).
Interface Improvements
- Global Currency Selector – Switch between INR, USD,
EUR, GBP, JPY, BRL, THB, AUD, CAD, and custom currencies. All economic
modules update automatically.
- Interactive Tool Overview – Collapsible accordion
on the Home page with clickable tool items that navigate directly to the
relevant module.
- Restructured Navbar – Explicit, user-friendly
labels with logical groupings (Convert, Survival Curves, Costs &
Outcomes, Learn).
- Five new pkgdown vignettes with worked examples.
ParCC 1.3.0
New Features
- HR Converter Module – Convert Hazard Ratios to
time-dependent transition probabilities; compare multiple HRs
simultaneously.
- Enhanced Output Panels – Step-by-step explanations,
rendered MathJax formulas, and literature citations on every output
panel.
- Batch HR Conversion – CSV upload for bulk HR-based
conversions alongside existing rate and odds batch modes.
- pkgdown Documentation Site – Hosted at
https://drpakhare.github.io/ParCC/ with vignettes for all core
workflows.
ParCC 1.2.0
- Initial public release with core converters, survival extrapolation,
PSA distributions, financial tools, ICER/NMB, VBP, diagnostics, and Lab
Notebook.
