sd_test

Runs the test of stochastic dominance given two vectors of surrogate values.

internal

Provides functions to nonparametrically assess assumptions necessary to prevent the surrogate paradox through hypothesis tests of stochastic dominance, monotonicity of regression functions, and non-negative residual treatment effects. More details are available in Hsiao et al 2025 (under review). A tutorial for this package can be found at <https://laylaparast.com/home/SurrogateParadoxTest.html>.
