## CRAN Task View Initiative CRAN Task Views logo



CRAN task views aim to provide guidance which packages on the

[Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN)](https://CRAN.R-project.org/)

are relevant for tasks related to a certain topic. They give a brief

overview of the included packages which can also be automatically installed using the

[ctv](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=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.



### Installation



To automatically install the views, the [ctv](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=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 which are not installed and up-to-date),

e.g.,



```

ctv::install.views("Econometrics")

ctv::update.views("Econometrics")

```



To query information about a particular task view on CRAN from within R or to

obtain the list of all task views available, respectively, the following

commands are provided:



```

ctv::ctv("Econometrics")

ctv::available.views()

```



The task views as a whole are overseen and coordinated by the _CRAN Task View

Editors_ and each individual task view is maintained by a group of volunteers.

See below for details on how to contribute to an existing task view or propose

a new one.
