RoBSA: Robust Bayesian Survival Analysis

A framework for estimating ensembles of parametric survival models with different parametric families. The RoBSA framework uses Bayesian model-averaging to combine the competing parametric survival models into a model ensemble, weights the posterior parameter distributions based on posterior model probabilities and uses Bayes factors to test for the presence or absence of the individual predictors or preference for a parametric family (Bartoš, Aust & Haaf, 2022, <doi:10.1186/s12874-022-01676-9>). The user can define a wide range of informative priors for all parameters of interest. The package provides convenient functions for summary, visualizations, fit diagnostics, and prior distribution calibration.
