  <dc:title>Distributional Cost-Effectiveness Analysis for Health Technology
Assessment</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package dceasimR version 0.1.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Implements distributional cost-effectiveness analysis (DCEA) as
    described in Cookson et al. (2020, ISBN:9780198838197)
    and the methods endorsed by NICE (2025) for health technology evaluation.
    Provides functions for both aggregate and full-form DCEA, inequality
    measurement (Atkinson index, Gini coefficient, slope index of inequality,
    relative index of inequality), social welfare function evaluation,
    equity-efficiency impact plane visualisation, and sensitivity analysis over
    inequality aversion parameters. Includes baseline health distributions for
    England (by IMD quintile), Canada (income quintile), and global WHO
    regions. Suitable for academic research, health technology assessment
    submissions, and public health policy analysis.</dc:description>
