## Changes in 'drc'
2017-12-19: Updating the event-time part of "drc", in particular in drm() (improved code provided by Andrea Onofri).
2017-09-29: The argument checkND has been added to the predict method. It allows switching off comparing names of variables
in the the original data frame and the "newdata" data frame: It's useful for predicting in e.g., mixture models (after a report
by Evan Palmer-Young).

constraining predicted values to meaningful ranges. The predict method allows incorporating standard errors of estimates in the confidence
bands for fitted SSD's.

based on effective doses and also effects as described in the paper by Martin-Betancor et al. (2015). An accompanying
dataset named "metals" has also been included.
2016-07-21: A small bug in printing confidence intervals has been fixed (after a report from Johannes Ranke). The
