Description: Given two unbiased samples of patient level data on cost
        and effectiveness for a pair of treatments, make head-to-head
        treatment comparisons by (i) generating the bivariate bootstrap
        resampling distribution of ICE uncertainty for a specified
        value of the shadow price of health, lambda, (ii) form the
        wedge-shaped ICE confidence region with specified confidence
        fraction within [0.50, 0.99] that is equivariant with respect
        to changes in lambda, (iii) color the bootstrap outcomes within
        the above confidence wedge with economic preferences from an
        ICE map with specified values of lambda, beta and gamma
        parameters, (iv) display VAGR and ALICE acceptability curves,
        and (v) illustrate variation in ICE preferences by displaying
        potentially non-linear indifference(iso-preference) curves from
        an ICE map with specified values of lambda, beta and gamma or
        eta parameters.
