  <dc:title>Alternative Bootstrap-Based t-Test Aiming to Reduce Type-I Error
for Non-Negative, Zero-Inflated Data</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package rbtt version 0.1.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Tu &amp; Zhou (1999) &lt;doi:10.1002/(SICI)1097-0258(19991030)18:20%3C2749::AID-SIM195%3E3.0.CO;2-C&gt; showed that comparing the means of populations whose data-generating distributions are non-negative with excess zero observations is a problem of great importance in the analysis of medical cost data. In the same study, Tu &amp; Zhou discuss that it can be difficult to control type-I error rates of general-purpose statistical tests for comparing the means of these particular data sets. This package allows users to perform a modified bootstrap-based t-test that aims to better control type-I error rates in these situations.</dc:description>
