Changes in version 1.0.1 (2021-12-02)                  

Changes

  - Added a vignette
  - Added automatic testing procedures

                 Changes in version 1.0.0 (2021-02-27)                  

Main changes

  - Rcpp code implementation for the main function qad()
  - Code improvements for zeta1() and ECBC() which replaces the
    deprecated function emp_c_copula()
  - Adapted permutation test for independence which works irrespectively
    of the marginal distribution
  - Added a new (experimental) bootstrap test which tests for asymmetry
    in dependence (thus provides a p-value for the measure a)

Minor changes

  - Additional parameters for graphics (title, x.axis, y.axis)
  - Added warnings for checkerboard resolution less or equal 3
  - the deprecated function cci() was finally removed

                 Changes in version 0.2.0 (2020-05-29)                  

Main changes

  - Implementation of a new p-value (based on Monte Carlo simulation).
  - New implementation of the distribution function and quantile
    function of qad in the setting of independence: pqad(), qqad().
  - Function cci() is deprecated.
  - Additional parameter configurations in pairwise.qad: (1) double 0
    entries can be removed, (2) a minimum necessary resolution can be
    selected.

Bug Fixes

  - Correction of a wrong p-value (by permutation test) of qad for a
    checkerboard resolution of N = 1.
  - Code simplifications (replace several functions of the data.table
    package by dplyr functions).
