		Semiparametric Bayesian Regression for Dependent Current Status
		Data // Implements a semiparametric Bayesian regression
		framework using Bernstein polynomial baseline models for
		analyzing dependent current status data. The package
		accommodates proportional hazards (PH) and proportional odds
		(PO) regression models with Archimedean copulas ('Gumbel',
		'Frank', and 'Clayton') to model the joint dependence structure
		between event and observation or censoring times. Estimation is
		performed using a Robust Adaptive Metropolis (RAM) Markov Chain
		Monte Carlo ('MCMC') algorithm. Model comparison metrics
		including Deviance Information Criterion ('DIC') and posterior
		summaries with Highest Posterior Density ('HPD') intervals and
		Kendall's tau are provided. Methodological details are
		described in Sharma and Balakrishnan (2026)
