This difference is explained by the PREMIER patients' much worse baseline HAQ scores (and hence modelled utility) than is expected for patients with early RA.

Some cases were assumed to result in claims against the NHS, attracting legal costs and damages not related to quality of life (damages related to quality of life were not included because loss of quality of life is explicitly modelled as utility loss, thus costs to compensate for such loss are not included to avoid double counting).

The individual herd owner's decision to enhance survival of breeding stock to first calving age was modelled using random utility model where utility of each option is assumed to be a linear function of observed individual characteristics plus an additive error term (Verbeek 2000).

The identification of novel and biologically relevant candidate genes linked within a single expression network, the activity of which correlates with disease state and survival within the subgroup of tumours being modelled, illustrates the utility of this cross-species approach.

Mapping is a method where the interrelationship between a generic health related quality of life (HRQoL) measure such as the EuroQol EQ-5D-3L (EQ-5D-3L) and a condition specific HRQoL measure (e.g. EORTC QLQ-C30) is modelled so that utilities can be predicted (retrospectively) in studies where the generic measure was not used.

The applied distribution depends on the type of variable 5: transition probabilities (mortality or chance for another event) and utilities are modelled as β distributions.

Consequently, the utility function is modelled as a systematic (explainable) component and a random (unexplainable) component.
