Description: An implementation of the Bayesian Surrogate Evaluation
        Test (BSET) for assessing the validity of surrogate markers in
        clinical trials. Provides hypothesis testing tools to evaluate
        whether a surrogate can reliably estimate the causal effect of
        a treatment on a primary outcome. Implements the
        imputation-based Bayesian methodology of Carlotti and Parast
        (2026) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2603.14381>, extending the
        frequentist rank-based approach of Parast et al. (2024)
        <doi:10.1093/biomtc/ujad035>. Addresses key limitations of the
        frequentist method, including the lack of causal
        interpretability and the inability to adjust for covariates in
        the estimation process.
