		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.
