Description: Provides functions for the evaluation of
    surrogate endpoints when both the surrogate and the true endpoint are failure
    time variables. The approaches implemented are:
    (1) the two-step approach (Burzykowski et al, 2001) <DOI:10.1111/1467-9876.00244> with a copula model (Clayton, Plackett, Hougaard) at
    the first step and either a linear regression of log-hazard ratios at the second
    step (either adjusted or not for measurement error);
    (2) mixed proportional hazard models estimated via mixed Poisson GLM
    (Rotolo et al, 2017 <DOI:10.1177/0962280217718582>).
