BSET - A Bayesian Surrogate Evaluation Test
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.
