		Two One-Sided Tests for Equivalence // Ports the 'Stata' ado
		package 'tost' which provides a suite of commands to perform
		two one-sided tests for equivalence following the approach by
		Schuirman (1987) doi:10.1007/BF01068419. Commands are provided
		for t tests on means, z tests on proportions, McNemar's test
		(1947) doi:10.1007/BF02295996 on proportions and related tests,
		tests on the regression coefficients from OLS linear regression
		(not yet implementing all of the current regression options
		from the 'Stata' 'tostregress' command, e.g., survey regression
		options, estimation options, etc.), Wilcoxon's (1945)
		doi:10.2307/3001968 signed rank tests, Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney
		(1947) doi:10.1214/aoms/1177730491 rank sum tests, supporting
		inference about equivalence for a number of paired and
		unpaired, parametric and nonparametric study designs and data
		types. Each command tests a null hypothesis that samples were
		drawn from populations different by at least plus or minus some
		researcher-defined level of tolerance, which can be defined in
		terms of units of the data or rank units (Delta), or in units
		of the test statistic's distribution (epsilon) except for
		tost.rrp() and tost.rrpi().  Enough evidence rejects this null
		hypothesis in favor of equivalence within the tolerance.
		Equivalence intervals for all tests may be defined
		symmetrically or asymmetrically.
