Speaking as a potential user of such a package, I wonder if that information could be put in a help page for the entire package? I've seen several packages that do such a "global" overview. I realize there might be a Suggests: entry in the DESCRIPTION file but not everyone knows how to find it and even those who do might first try for a help page if it was in the Index.

There is a note on your help page that says

These data are **not** immediately available in the `eglhmm` package.

which seems to be in line with the check warning.
OK.  Thanks.  Now that you have pointed this out, it's all too obvious.
The user is invited to install the monoCyteSim package (from a specified
github repository).  After the user has done so, then the data sets
bivarSim and ccSim are available in the usual way.

When I ran R CMD check without the --as-cran flag, there was no problem
because I had already installed the monoCyteSim package on my local
computer.  *With* that flag, R CMD check carries on as if it were
looking at the eghlmm package in the context of running on a CRAN
server.  This server would *not* have the monoCyteSim package
installed, whence it would not be able to find the data sets bivarSim
and ccCM, whence the warning.  Makes perfect sense now.

It turns out I can make the warning go away by removing the lines

\usage{
     bivarSim
     ccSim
}

They serve no useful purpose and are not required.

Thanks again.

cheers,

Rolf Turner
