R Packages

R Packages are collections of functions, data, and documentation that extend the capabilities of base R. They are a fundamental part of the R programming language and provide a way for users to share and reuse code. R Packages can be installed from various sources, including the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN), GitHub, and Bioconductor. They are typically organized around a specific theme or purpose, such as data visualization, statistical modeling, or machine learning. R Packages can be developed by anyone and are often open source, allowing for collaboration and community contributions. They are an essential tool for data scientists and analysts who use R for their work, as they provide a way to easily access and use specialized functions and tools.
