The estimated beta distributions for each variable provide the marginal distributions for the copula.

Uncertainty was accounted for by using a beta distribution for each parameter of sensitivity and specificity.
* 95% CIs for conditional probabilities were estimated by sampling from beta distributions for sensitivity of MRI and mammography combined and sensitivity for each modality alone, and solving for the conditional probability.
'Test' provides visual displays of the beta distributions for the prices and costs.
Costs and dose equivalence ratios were assumed to be lognormal distributed, binomial distributions were adopted for treatment response probabilities, normal distributions for relative risks and mortality rate of dialysis patients and beta distributions for health related utilities.
To assess the impact of simultaneous changes in all model parameters, we also performed multivariate uncertanty analysis, varying all parameter estimates over beta distributions (for variables bounded between 0 and 1) or gamma distributions (for variables bounded between 0 and infinity), with means set to expected parameter values and standard deviations set to 12.5% of expected parameter values.
Beta distributions for model parameters were derived from this information.
In particular, Weibull distributions were applied for the epidemiological parameters, beta distributions for probabilities and utilities, and uniform distributions for the NHS reference costs.
Probabilistic sensitivity analyses (PSA) were used to simultaneously evaluate the impact of uncertainty across all parameters, in which distributions were assigned to the input parameters of the model (lognormal distributions for costs, beta distributions for probability parameters and utilities).
The model used log-normal distributions for costs and beta distributions for utility values and probabilities or proportions with an assumed standard deviation of 25% from the mean values when reported data were not available.
Let denote the parameters of the three beta distributions for the type1 probes, and similarly let describe the estimated parameters of the three beta components for the type2 probes.
