bzGetSubgrp

Compute subgroup treatment effect estimation and variance for subgroup effect
summary data. The estimation and variance are combined if there are multiple
record of the same subgroup, defined by the covariates, in the data.

It is vital to assess the heterogeneity of treatment effects
(HTE) when making health care decisions for an individual patient or a group
of patients. Nevertheless, it remains challenging to evaluate HTE based
on information collected from clinical studies that are often designed and
conducted to evaluate the efficacy of a treatment for the overall population.
The Bayesian framework offers a principled and flexible approach to estimate
and compare treatment effects across subgroups of patients defined by their
characteristics. This package allows users to explore a wide range of Bayesian
HTE analysis models, and produce posterior inferences about HTE. See Wang et al.
