BayesSurv	Compute the posterior mean and a credible band for the survival and cumulative hazard, and the posterior mean for the hazard.
CumhazEval	Evaluate whether a true cumulative hazard function is contained in the credible set.
MCMCDepGammaFirst	Sampler for the first interval for the piecewise exponential prior with dependent Gamma heights.
MCMCDepGammaIntermediate	Sampler for the intermediate intervals for the piecewise exponential prior with dependent Gamma heights.
PlotBayesSurv	Plot the posterior mean with credible band for the survival function or cumulative hazard, or the posterior mean for the hazard
RadiusCredibleSet	Computes the radius of a fixed width credible set for the survival or the cumulative hazard
ReshapeData	Reshape right censored data to be used with a piecewise exponential prior.
SamplePosteriorDepGamma	Draw samples from the posterior for the hazard, using the piecewise exponential (histogram) prior with dependent Gamma heights
SamplePosteriorIndepGamma	Draw samples from the posterior for the hazard, using the piecewise exponential (histogram) prior with independent Gamma heights
SurvEval	Evaluate whether a true survival function is contained in the credible set.
SurvivalFromCumhaz	Transform posterior draws from the cumulative hazard into posterior draws from the survival.
