DESCRIPTION:

  - version and date updated
  - P. Nájera listed as a co-author
  - package dependencies updated

att.plot:

  - CDM package accepted
  - nonparametric CD-CAT accepted
  - k argument included for selecting the attributes to be plotted. If k
    = NULL (by default), all attributes are plotted
  - color has been added to the plot: red = non-mastered, green =
    mastered, blue = unclassified

cdcat:

  - CDM package accepted
  - several item selection rules included: GDI, JSD, MPWKL, PWKL, NPS,
    random (argument itemSelect)
  - nonparametric CD-CAT included (itemSelect = "NPS")
      - different arguments available: gate, pseudo.prob, w.type, and
        seed (argument NPS.args). pseudo.prob and w.type are
        experimental
      - some arguments needed to be modified / included (e.g., Q is
        required with nonparametric CD-CAT)
  - parallelization included (argument n.cores)
  - some warning / error messages included
  - information regarding multiple modes (for ML and MAP) included in
    the output
  - i.print is a deprecated argument. When parallelizing, no information
    is printed
  - updated information and references
  - new example for the nonparametric CD-CAT included
  - examples updated

cdcat.summary:

  - major update
  - item exposure information included
  - optional label argument included (in case two objects share model)
  - CDM package accepted
  - nonparametric CD-CAT accepted
  - plots improved (e.g., without secondary grids)
  - violin plot for variable length CD-CAT improved (e.g., geom_dotplot
    instead of geom_jitter, x axis labels removed)

cdcat.comp:

  - function removed. cdcat.comp is now included in cdcat.summary

gen.data:

  - new function to simulate data

gen.itembank:

  - major update
  - data generation under different CDMs using the GDINA::simGDINA
    function
