Changes from TreeAge Pro 2011 to TreeAge Pro 2012

Compared to earlier versions, TreeAge Pro 2011 introduced a more modern, flexible interface, and enhanced TreeAge Pro's already robust set of modeling and analysis functions. This page highlights the new features available in TreeAge Pro 2012.

 

One-Way Sensitivity Analysis with Microsimulation
  • Generate one-way sensitivity analysis output from microsimulation results.
  • Setup a variable range for one-way sensitivity analysis; then run microsimulation trial sets for each value of that variable within the sensitivity analysis range.
  • Identify strategy change thresholds for specific parameters, even in models requiring microsimulation/trials.

 

Variable Arrays
  • Use enhanced variable definition with support for multiple expressions using arrays.
  • Reference the individual expressions by index.
  • Use within Markov processes to change the referenced expression from cycle to cycle.
  • Use in conjunction with tables to choose the proper expression from the array based on a table lookup.

Distributed Simulations
  • Run simulations more quickly by utilizing the processing power of multiple slave computers.
  • Master computer must have one of the following.
    • An active Annual License.
    • A Standard License with an active Maintenance Agreement.
  • Slave computers do not require a TreeAge Pro license.

Model Documentation
  • Create a Help HTML file to document your model.
  • Colleagues can then access your documentation by opening the model and pressing the F1 key.

News Reader
  • The news reader will facilitate prompt notification to TreeAge Pro users of important events, such as:
    • Software updates
    • Public training courses

Simplified Export of Report Output to Excel
  • Simplified export of report output to facilitate processing in Excel.
  • Report output includes:
    • Markov Cohort Output Summary Report
    • Cost-Effectiveness Analysis

Improved Connectivity with 64-bit Excel
  • Communication between TreeAge Pro and Excel is applicable only to TreeAge Pro Excel and TreeAge Pro Suite.
    • Under Windows, both TreeAge Pro and Excel must be the same version, either 64-bit or 32-bit.
    • Under Mac, only 64-bit versions will be supported.
  • Bilinks - dynamic links between a model and an Excel workbook.
    • Windows: currently supported for both 32-bit and 64-bit.
    • Mac: currently not supported.
  • Export text-based analysis output to Excel.
    • Windows: currently supported for both 32-bit and 64-bit.
    • Mac: currently supported.
  • Export analysis graphs Excel.
    • Windows: currently supported for Windows 32-bit; 64-bit not currently supported.
    • Mac: currently not supported.
  • Edit model inputs (variables, trackers, distributions, tables) in Excel and return to TreeAge Pro.
    • Windows: currently supported for Windows 32-bit; 64-bit not currently supported.
    • Mac: currently not supported.
  • We are working on adding the unsupported Windows 64-bit communication channels. We expect to have that completed in March.
  • Thereafter, resources will be shirged to support for 64-bit communication on the Mac platform.
