		Integrative Bayesian Multiple Regression for Multi-Platform
		Biomarkers // A Bayesian framework that integrates several
		regression models to identify a parsimonious set of biomarkers
		shared across disparate data platforms (for example genomic,
		transcriptomic and proteomic assays). Subjects are partitioned
		into subgroups defined by their pattern of platform
		availability, so that no subject with partially missing
		platform data is excluded, and information is borrowed across
		subgroups through a Markov random field prior on the variable-
		selection indicators together with non-local (product moment)
		priors on the regression effects. The methodology was
		introduced for time-to-event outcomes by Chekouo, Stingo,
		Doecke and Do (2017) doi:10.1111/biom.12587; this package
		additionally supports continuous (Gaussian) and binary (probit)
		outcomes. Posterior inference is carried out by a Markov chain
		Monte Carlo sampler implemented in C for computational
		efficiency.
