Training Testimonials
Our training programs continue to be popular and well received.
It is gratifying to see the number of organizations which either
invite us back annually for in-house training or regularly send new
employees to one of our public programs.
Take a look at what some of our training attendees have told
us...
"I have found that the TreeAge training course is well structured
and very practical. The case study provides a great hands-on leaning
experience to all the participants. I would recommend this course to
my colleagues."
"This course is well-organized, well-paced, and follows your
thought processes into insightful thinking. It not only teaches you
how to push buttons but how to give meaning to the numbers as well.
It leaves a yearning for subsequent courses!"

Meet the TreeAge Software Trainers
It's not surprising that a major reason for the popularity of our
training programs is the quality of the individuals conducting the
training. Over the next few months we will introduce you to each of
our excellent Course Leaders.
This month we would like to introduce you to our lead trainer in
Europe - Andrew Palmer.
Dr. Andrew J. Palmer BmedSc, MB,BS.
Principal, CORE, Center for Outcomes Research, a unit of IMS
Andrew Palmer is Principal of CORE, Center for Outcomes Research
based in Basel, Switzerland. He studied medicine at the University of
Tasmania, and worked in general practice in Sydney, Australia. In
1994 he moved to Switzerland to become Medical Director of the
Institute for Medical Informatics and Biostatistics, a position which
he held until 2000.
In that year, Andrew co-founded CORE. In October 2005, CORE
merged with IMS, with Andrew becoming a Principal in the newly formed
Health Economics and Outcomes Research department of IMS Health.

Release of TreeAge Pro Viewer
The release of TreeAge Pro Viewer allows anyone to open, view and
print models that were created in our TreeAge Pro software -
including tree files, influence diagrams, graphs or Monte Carlo
simulation outputs. Unlike our TreeAge Pro software, the Viewer does
not perform any calculations or allow building of models.
This is an exciting addition to our TreeAge Pro family as the
Viewer will allow our users to more easily share their work with
others who do not have a license to our software. We think this will
make collaboration, sharing and reviewing of TreeAge models much
easier for our users.
The TreeAge Viewer is a free download. For more instructions on
how to download the viewer please

Tech Tip - Aligning End Nodes & Node Comments
Tech Tip #1 [Aligning End Nodes and Other Nodes]
Perhaps you have a complex tree that you need to present to
colleagues. Aligning nodes can help make a tree easier to follow.
It is possible to align all the endnodes (often terminal nodes)
to the right of the tree with a simple change to the tree
preferences. From the menu, select Edit>Preferences (or press F11).
In the preferences dialog box, select the category "Tree Layout".
Then check the box labeled "Align endnodes". TreeAge Pro will expand
terminal nodes as necessary to vertically align all the payoffs.
At other times, you may want to expand other nodes to vertically
align similar nodes within the tree. You can extend the width of a
node using the Skip Generation option. First select the node, then
select Display>Skip Generation from the menu. This will expand the
node to twice its normal width within the tree. To reverse this,
select Display>Unskip Generation from the menu.

Tech Tip #2 [Note Boxes and Node Comments]
Sometimes it is helpful to add documentation within a tree either
as a simple reminder or to illustrate a point to colleagues. Such
documentation can be added using note boxes and node comments. Note
boxes are more explicit in that they are visible at all times. Node
comments remain behind the scene for reference only when needed.
Note boxes can add descriptive text anywhere in the tree. A note
box can be bound to the document window or to a specific node. You
can change the appearance of a note box by changing its fonts,
borders, size, shape, and location.
Node comments are used to document the branches off a specific
node, similar to cell comments in Excel. Select a node; then select
Options>Node comment from the menu. A dialog box will open with a
memo field for each of the node's branches. Once data is entered and
the dialog box is closed, a small red flag will appear above the
node, signifying that node comments are available. Clicking on the
flag opens the node comments for review. The comments also appear in
the properties window when that node is selected. Deleting the
values in the properties window removes the node comments.
