abstract: Implements omnibus tests for comparing two right-censored survival samples
  that are powerful against sparse departures from equal hazards, where the hazard
  difference is concentrated in a small and a priori unknown subset of the follow-up.
  Exact hypergeometric p-values are computed for each time interval and aggregated
  with the Higher Criticism statistic of Donoho and Jin (2004) <https://doi.org/10.1214/009053604000000265>,
  or alternatively with the Berk-Jones, Fisher or minimum-p statistics. Global p-values
  are obtained by permuting group labels, and the intervals driving a detection can
  be recovered for diagnostic plotting. Tests accept either two samples as vectors
  or the usual survival formula. The method is described in Kipnis, Galili and Yakhini
  (2026) <https://doi.org/10.1093/biomet/asaf075>, and the companion application note
  is Kipnis, Galili and Yakhini (2026) <https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2610.07268>.
