Compare TreeAge Pro with Excel and R

TreeAge Pro’s Visual Editor and Built-In Analyses Make Modeling Easy – No Coding Required

TreeAge Pro allows you to build models faster and generate analysis results. You won’t need to create thousands of calculations or write any programming code.

Feature	Advantages of TreeAge Pro	How Excel Compares	How R Compares
Visual Model Editor	Visually map treatment strategies and patient pathways Get started quickly with model-building wizards Easily demonstrate your model to colleagues	Requires building complex formulas in thousands of cells for even basic model structure	Requires coding and debugging for all models
Robust Framework	Common visual framework for simple and complex models All model types (Decision Tree, Markov, Patient Simulation, Partitioned Survival, Discrete Event) use a common editor and familiar structure All model types generate common reporting for ease of use	Model complexity requires more complex formulas and Visual Basic coding	Modeler required to locate and integrate various unsupported packages and write custom code for all model types
Built-in Analyses and Reports	Calculations automatically follow your model design with no coding required Analyze your model with a comprehensive suite of built-in analyses and reports – Cost-Effectiveness, Markov Cohort Trace, Sensitivity Analysis, Probabilistic Sensitivity Analysis & more All calculations fully tested and validated	Must manually build all model calculations, reports and patient traces Need to locate errors and fix bugs	Requires coding/debugging for all analyses and reports
Transparency & Validation	Comprehensive reporting, visualization and debugging tools to examine and validate model calculations Built-in patient trace for cohort and simulation models Visualization tools for survival and Markov models	Thousands of individual cell calculations must be reviewed for validation Patient traces must be built manually	All model calculations must be validated and debugged in the programming code
