The 'rmstBayespara' package.

Description

The parametric Bayes regression models using 'Stan' for restricted mean survival time (RMST). The package implement the model estimation described in Hanada and Kojima (2024). The posterior sample, Widely Applicable Information Criterion (WAIC), and Efficient Leave-One-Out Cross-Validation (loo) for some parametric models of survival data can be available. The RMST under these parametric models can be computed from the obtained posterior samples.
