Description: A toolkit for constructing, validating, and justifying
        Bayesian priors in clinical trial settings. Implements expert
        elicitation via quantile matching, the roulette method, and
        moment matching across six distribution families, linear and
        logarithmic expert pooling, meta-analytic-predictive (MAP)
        priors derived from historical trials, prior-data conflict
        diagnostics including the Box p-value (computed from the exact
        prior predictive distribution where one has a closed form), an
        exploratory surprisal (S-value) companion to it, surprise
        index, information divergence, and Mahalanobis distance,
        sensitivity analyses with tornado and influence heatmap plots,
        sceptical, robust, and power priors, and automated prior
        justification reports. Includes a fully modular 'Shiny'
        application for interactive use. Methods based on O'Hagan et
        al. (2006, ISBN:9780470029886), Box (1980)
