emdi 2.1.1

• Fix to account for the changed behavior of as.vector() on data frames

emdi 2.1.0

• Extension of the ebp function to allow informative sampling

• New additional vignette
• Example in write.ods fixed

emdi 2.0.3

• Robustifying tests to comply with alternative implementations
• Updated example for step

emdi 2.0.2

• Many S3-methods in the style of stats and nlme are implemented for the classes direct, ebp and fh
• Structure of S3-classes has been cleaned up
• The bootstrap parameter in the fh-function has been changed from a single number to a single number or a numeric vector with two elements to allow for separately controlling the number of bootstrap iterations for the MSE estimation and the computation of the bootstrap based information criteria
• Renaming the robustness constant in the fh function
• Minor fixes in the documentation
• Reducing the sizes of the data sets used for test that tests to decrease testing time
