Profile

PA: Ellie Health (e.g.heath@sheffield.ac.uk)

I am Dean of the School of Medicine and Population Health (SMPH) and a Professor of Public Health.

I also hold an honorary clinical consultant contract with the at the Department of Health and Social Care.

Research interests

I have three related research interests that fall under the general banner of Uncertainty Quantification:

  1. How do we properly account for all relevant uncertainties when we build a computer model of a physical, biological or social system?
  2. How do we (efficiently) compute value of information?
  3. How do we work out the value of a computer model? How much should we pay to make a simple model more complex? When do we stop increasing the complexity of a model?

,  and I have proposed an "internal" discrepancy-based method for managing model uncertainty. See , and  that develops the idea of the 'Expected Value of Model Improvement'. The method is discussed in more detail in my .

We have proposed an efficient method for computing partial EVPI. This method works for any number of parameters of interest and requires only the PSA sample. See this  in Medical Decision Making. R functions to implement the method can be downloaded .

Our online web calculator for partial EVPI, , is easy to use: Just upload your PSA sample and SAVI does the rest.

SAVI is also available as an R package from GitHub. This allows users to run the SAVI app on their own machine, and removes the need to transfer any data over the net. .

The partial EVPI method extends nicely to the computation of EVSI. See here for our .
