-## This is the first submission of this package
+## Resubmission
+I have amended the description text in the DESCRIPTION file to include doi or 
+ISBN references to the statistical methods used by the package functions. I also made
+the description text more concise.
+
+I also updated one of the references cited in the function documentation for 
+the phe_rate, phe_isr and phe_smr functions.
+
+This package is new to CRAN.
