Families 2.0.1 Submitted March 2024: Changes in version 2.0.1

• Tests() A new test added: an idego value outside of the acceptable range results in a warning an the omission of the unacceptable values.

Families 2.0.2 April 2024

Function updates

Tests(): Correct warning message. Some IDs may be missing, e.g. ego without cousins has no IDs of cousins. Originally, ego was removed from the list of ego-cousin dyads. That caused vectors of unequal length and warning “longer object length is not a multiple of shorter object length”. That issue is resolved by including the ego-NA dyads. The change prevents unnecessary warnings in Db() and Alive()
