Description: 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.
