		Unified Dynamic Deep 'BART' for Interval-Censored Survival //
		Implements U-DDBART-IC, a unified Bayesian workflow for dynamic
		risk prediction from irregular longitudinal biomarkers when
		event times are interval-censored between clinical visits. The
		package turns long-format biomarker histories and patient-level
		interval endpoints L, R, C and delta into a discrete-time
		follow-up grid, summarises each landmark history with nine
		interpretable trajectory features (current, baseline and
		previous biomarker values, last visit gap, local slope,
		cumulative decline, best value, elapsed time and visit count),
		fits discrete-time interval hazards using optional logit-link
		Bayesian additive regression trees, a generalized linear model
		fallback, or a lightweight variational approximation,
		accumulates survival from the discrete-time product, and
		evaluates the interval-censored likelihood. Fitted models
		return landmark risk predictions over user-specified horizons
		with posterior or bootstrap uncertainty by evaluating survival
		ratios across fitted hazard draws. Utilities are provided for
		simulation, staged model fitting, plotting and summarising
		dynamic risk curves, IPCW Brier scores, cumulative/dynamic
		time-dependent area under the curve, calibration tables, and an
		anonymised chronic myeloid leukaemia molecular-monitoring
		example data set.
