Tutorials

In these tutorials, you will learn how to reproduce each of the simulations presented in the paper “Multistate lifetable modelling of preventive interventions: Concept and Python code”.

After completing these tutorials, you will be able to adapt and modify these simulations, to explore the impact of different model assumptions and interventions, and to capture different simulation outputs of interest.

Important

These tutorials are intended to be followed in order, from first to last.

Note

The input data requirements for each of the MSLT components introduced in these tutorials are described here.

First steps

• Getting started
• The business-as-usual (BAU) scenario
  • Defining a simulation
  • Data artefacts
  • Intervention: a reduction in mortality rate
• Chronic heart disease
  • Intervention: a reduction in CHD incidence

Tobacco interventions

• Tobacco smoking: effect of interventions
  • Tobacco eradication
  • Tobacco-free generation
  • Tobacco tax
  • Intervention comparison

Summary

• Conclusion
