  - 'accept' now defaults to accept2.
  - 'accept' now checks FEV1 range.

                        Changes in version 1.0.1                        

  - 'accept' now compatible with the predict method from stats
  - 'accept' now compatible with vetiver for deployment and monitoring

                 Changes in version 1.0.0 (2023-02-06)                  

New features

  - accept now automatically calls latest version of prediction model
    available, while giving the user an option to choose which version
    to call.
  - Now handles missing columns and missing values.

                 Changes in version 0.9.1 (2022-07-15)                  

Bug fixes

  - A bug that prevented reduced models with accept2 to execute properly
    has now been fixed.

                 Changes in version 0.9.0 (2022-03-22)                  

Bug fixes

  - A bug in projecting the number of severe exacerbations using accept2
    has now been fixed.

                 Changes in version 0.8.3 (2021-06-18)                  

Bug fixes

  - accept2 can now receive vector input and produce vector output.

                 Changes in version 0.8.2 (2021-06-15)                  

This is a minor release with new and optimized functionality.
Importantly, the package now includes the updated model accept 2.0 which
is fine-tuned to provide better predictions for individuals with no
prior exacerbation history. Users can use the accept() function to
produce predictions from the original publication, while accept2()
provides predictions from the updated model. We have also optimized the
code for speed and the code for both models now runs about an order of
magnitude faster.

New features

  - new prediction model accept2 added.
  - functions optimized for speed and performance. Model predictions are
    now calculated approximately 10 times faster.

Breaking changes

  - predictACCEPT() is now replaced with accept() and accept2().

                 Changes in version 0.7.1 (2020-03-18)                  

  - doi updated as the manuscript is now published in Lancet Respiratory
    Medicine.

                 Changes in version 0.7.0 (2019-08-08)                  

  - New release.
