ShrinkageTrees: Bayesian Tree Ensembles for Survival Analysis and Causal Inference

Bayesian regression tree ensembles for survival analysis and causal inference. Implements BART, DART, Bayesian Causal Forests (BCF), and Horseshoe Forests models. Supports right-censored survival outcomes via accelerated failure time (AFT) formulations. Designed for high-dimensional prediction and heterogeneous treatment effect estimation in causal inference.
