+### Added

+- Updates the file calls in some of the calibration modules (`bequest_transmission.py`,  `deterministic_profiles.py`, `psid_data_setup.py`, and `transfer_distirbution.py`). These files called `.RData` files that were not included in the `ogusa` package, so users who pip installed ogusa could not instantiate the `Calibrate` class object. These changes allow for Jupyter notebook users to automatically download the data files from the master branch of the GitHub repository if they are not working in their own branch of the repository.
