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
