34.13 Extra Rewards

The Changing what the tree calculates section describes how to use extra payoffs for additional calculations beyond the active payoffs for the specified calculation method. You can enter state and transition rewards for extra payoffs in a Markov model as well.

For Markov state and transition nodes, you can enter rewards for additional payoff/reward sets in the Markov View. All enabled payoff/reward sets are displayed beneath the active reward sets and labelled 'Inactive', as below.

Extra reward sets in Markov View - Markov state node are seen in the image below:

Extra reward sets in Markov View - Markov transition node are seen in the image below:

By placing a 1 in a Markov transition reward for an extra reward set, you can count the percentage of the cohort that passes through a specific transition. Be careful about your conclusions if the cohort could pass through that transition more than once. Note, it is not necessary to add a reward into the transition rewards for the model to work.
