  <dc:title>Beta-Binomial Models for Immune Cell Frequencies and Power
Calculations</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package BBMBC version 1.0.1</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Provides tools to model overdispersed immune cell frequencies using Beta-Binomial generalized linear models. 
    Originally designed for memory B cells, the framework generalizes to evaluate rare 
    cellular immune responses across vaccinology, immuno-oncology, and related fields. Includes 
    method-of-moments dispersion estimation, likelihood ratio testing 
    across experimental arms, and Monte Carlo simulation to 
    calculate statistical power and Type I error rates. The methodologies 
    are directly motivated by the analysis of immunology data in 
    "Vaccination with mRNA-encoded membrane-anchored HIV envelope trimers 
    elicited tier 2 neutralizing antibodies in a phase 1 clinical trial" 
    (Parks et al. 2025) &lt;doi:10.1126/scitranslmed.ady6831&gt;.</dc:description>
