CRAN Task Views

CRAN task views aim to provide some guidance which packages on CRAN are relevant for tasks related to a certain topic. They give a brief overview of the included packages and can be automatically installed using the ctv package. The views are intended to have a sharp focus so that it is sufficiently clear which packages should be included (or excluded) - and they are not meant to endorse the "best" packages for a given task.

• To automatically install the views, the ctv package needs to be installed, e.g., via
  install.packages("ctv")
  and then the views can be installed via install.views or update.views (where the latter only installs those packages are not installed and up-to-date), e.g.,
  ctv::install.views("Econometrics")
  ctv::update.views("Econometrics")
• The task views are maintained by volunteers. You can help them by suggesting packages that should be included in their task views. The contact e-mail addresses are listed on the individual task view pages.
• For general concerns regarding task views contact the ctv package maintainer.
