### CSTools 4.0.1
<<<<<<< HEAD
**Submission date to CRAN: XX-06-2021**

- New features:
    + Dynamical Bias Correction method: `CST_ProxiesAttractors` and `CST_DynBiasCorrection` 
      (optionally `Predictability`)
    + CST_BiasCorrection and BiasCorrection allows to calibrate a forecast given the calibration in the hindcast by using parameter 'exp_cor'.

- Fixes:
    + Calibration retains correlation absolute value 
    + Calibration fixed when cal.methodi == rpc-based, apply_to == sign, 
        eval.method == 'leave-one-out' and the correlation is not significant
    + PlotMostLikelyQuantileMap reoder latitudes of an array provided in 'dots' parameter.
