TOSTER: Two One-Sided Tests (TOST) Equivalence Testing

Two one-sided tests (TOST) procedure to test equivalence for t-tests, correlations, differences between proportions, and meta-analyses, including power analysis for t-tests and correlations. Allows you to specify equivalence bounds in raw scale units or in terms of effect sizes. See: Lakens (2017) <doi:10.1177/1948550617697177>.
