A parallel microsimulation package for modelling cancer screening policies

Microsimulation with stochastic life histories is an important tool in the development of public policies. In this article, we use microsimulation to evaluate policies for prostate cancer testing. We implemented the microsimulations as an R package, with pre- and post-processing in R and with the si...
