title: 'BayesPocket: Bayesian Causal Inference for Periodontal Diseases in Longitudinal
  Studies'
version: 0.1.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.BayesPocket
abstract: Implements the Mixed Treatment-State Causal Model (MTSCM), a Bayesian framework
  for estimating causal effects of clinical interventions on bounded continuous outcomes
  in longitudinal observational studies with irregular visits. The methodology is
  specifically designed for periodontal disease research, where discrete treatments
  and continuous disease states (e.g., proportion of periodontal pockets exceeding
  3 mm) reciprocally influence one another under dynamic feedback. The package integrates
  a double-censored Tobit likelihood to handle boundary mass at zero and one, subject-specific
  random effects to capture within-subject correlation, and flexible tree-based ensemble
  priors (standard BART and Soft BART) to model complex nonlinear interactions without
  parametric restrictions. Causal identification is established under the potential
  outcomes framework via the G-computation formula, with key estimands including the
  Mixed Average Potential Outcome (MAPO) and the Mixed Probability of Disease Resolution
  (MPDR). The package provides functions for model fitting, posterior inference, and
  causal estimand estimation.
