enbs([positional or keyword] evsi_result: float = None, [positional or keyword] research_cost: float = None) -> floatCalculate expected net benefit of sampling.
Parameters
Section titled “Parameters”evsi_result : float Result from an EVSI calculation. research_cost : float Total cost of the proposed research.
Returns
Section titled “Returns”float
EVSI - research_cost.
ENBS is the net gain from commissioning a study:
.. math::
\mathrm{ENBS} = \mathrm{EVSI} - C_\mathrm{research}.
