In hdbayes: Bayesian Analysis of Generalized Linear Models with Historical Data

#' check if the input data are in appropriate forms for all methods
#' @param formula           a two-sided formula giving the relationship between the response variable and covariates.
#'                          The response is a survival object as returned by the `survival::Surv(time, event)` function,
#'                          where event is a binary indicator for event (0 = no event, 1 = event has occurred). The type
#'                          of censoring is assumed to be right-censoring.
#' @param data.list         a list of `data.frame`s. The first element in the list is the current data, and the rest
#'                          are the historical data sets. For fitting piecewise exponential (PWE) models, all
#'                          historical data sets will be stacked into one historical data set.
#' @param breaks            a numeric vector specifying the time points that define the boundaries of the piecewise
#'                          intervals. The values should be in ascending order, with the final value being greater
#'                          than or equal to the maximum observed time.
#' @param strata.list       a list of vectors specifying the stratum ID for each observation in the corresponding data set
#'                          in `data.list`. The first element in the list corresponds to the current data, and the rest
#'                          correspond to the historical data sets. Each vector should have the same length as the number
#'                          of rows in the respective data set in `data.list`, with values representing stratum labels
#'                          as positive integers (e.g., 1, 2, 3, ...). Defaults to NULL.
#' @param is.stratified.pp  whether the method is the stratified power prior. Defaults to FALSE.
