## BEANZ

BEANZ is a user-friendly, open-source, validated software suite for the application of Bayesian methods for heterogeneity of treatment effect (HTE) analysis.

## Steps

The steps are straightforward. Upload data, apply statistical analysis, and get reports.

## Background

Individuals vary in their response to treatment: some derive substantial overall benefit; some derive little benefit, while others are harmed. Understanding this HTE is critical for evaluating how well a treatment can be expected to work for an individual patient or a group of patients. Assessment of HTE is essential in Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR), which aims to help patients and stakeholders make informed personalized health care decisions.
