  1. The bottom row labeled base case from tree offers the results from a non-stochastic estimate. The non-stochastic estimate lies close to both the mean and the median of the stochastic estimates. The stochastic incremental cost average estimate of $16,472 (SD $8,494) which emerged from 1000 iterations, lies close to the non-stochastic estimate of $15,963 shown in Table 2.
