The implementation of resample.bootstrap.bias was removed because of several flaws.
It was found to give very wrong results when used with
method="extended"for parameters sensitive to the sample size. It was only an approximation to the correct implementation of the bias formula, valid only in the limit of very large bootstrap samples. This was not properly stated in the documentation. It is not obvious how this general flaw can be fixed in a reasonable manner, so the decision is to remove the bias estimation via bootstrap altogether.
