  <dc:title>Universal Turning Point and Inflection Point Tests</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package tptest version 1.0.3</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Performs turning point and inflection point tests for 
    U-shaped and inverse U-shaped relationships in regression models.
    Implements the Sasabuchi (1980) test as extended by Lind and Mehlum (2010)
    with support for quadratic, cubic, log-quadratic, and inverse functional
    forms. Features include delta-method standard errors, Fieller confidence
    intervals, Simonsohn (2018) two-lines test, and parametric bootstrap.
    Designed for post-estimation analysis of linear models, panel models,
    and quantile regression.
