About

The MISCAN Core, or MISCore, is a Python modelling platform that streamlines development, application and analysis of discrete-event microsimulation models to evaluate (healthcare) interventions. It features core functionalities such as event scheduling, output logging and identical populations across interventions, as well as tools for calibration, cost-effectiveness analysis and (dynamic) stratification.
