Reviews for Statistical Analysis of Cost-Effectiveness Data

...Willan and Briggs have written a thorough, balanced, and useful book. I look forward to reading an enlarged, revised second edition. (Journal of the American Statistical Association, June 2008) Overall this is a useful book for this new discipline that helps considerably the reader to enter this topic and learn how to handle this type of problems.
