  <dc:title>A Bayesian Surrogate Evaluation Test</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package BSET version 1.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>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) &lt;doi:10.48550/arXiv.2603.14381&gt;,
    extending the frequentist rank-based approach of Parast et al. (2024)
    &lt;doi:10.1093/biomtc/ujad035&gt;. Addresses key limitations of the
    frequentist method, including the lack of causal interpretability and
    the inability to adjust for covariates in the estimation process.</dc:description>
