This function calculates the total VOI (expected value of perfect information, EVPI) for a given decision, and VOI (expected value of partial perfect information, EVPPI) for certain variables. The outcome to be optimised is out; the decision to be made must be indexed by deci; the variables for EVPPI calculation must be listed in input, which is indexed by input_ind. The solution is numerical, and for this purpose, the outcome is classified into a number of bins (the number is defined by classes, which may be a number or an array of numbers). The VOI function assumes that costs are calculated and that the correct optimising function is MIN. Procedure First, a new index is generated. It contains 'Total VOI' in the first row and the EVPPI variables in the subsequent rows. Then, net cost under uncertainty (ncuu) and evpi are calculated. The rest of the procedure is calculated separetely for each value of classes. Varia is a temporary index that has classes number of bins. Each iteration is located in one of the bins depending on the value of input. After this classification, the value of out is located into the bin for that iteration. When the mean is taken, the result is the average of outcome multiplied by the probability that the true value of input is in the same bin. The best decision is made given the bin, and then the expected outcomes of each bin are summed up. When ncuu is subtracted from this value, we get EVPPI. Finally, the EVPI and EVPPI are concatenated into a single index. It may be a good idea to include a row 'Blank' in the input_ind and use it for a random variable that is NOT part of the model. This gives a rough estimate on how much random noise may produce VOI in the system. It might also be good to use different values for Classes, because there may be numerical instability with low iteration numbers, and it is not obvious what low is in each case.

This is a technical parametre only, and it should be large enough. However, the samplesize should be at least 100 times larger than this to avoid random noise.
