CRAN Task View Initiative 
CRAN task views aim to provide some guidance which packages on the Comprehensive R Archive Network (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.
Installation
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 which are not installed and up-to-date),
e.g.,
ctv::install.views("Econometrics")
ctv::update.views("Econometrics")
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.
CRAN Task View Editors
The current team is:
Former contributors include: Henrik Bengtsson, Heather Turner.
How to contribute?
For contributing to an existing task view please go to the respective repository (see links above) and follow the guidelines in Contributing.
For proposing a new task view please follow the guidelines in Proposal.
Technical documentation about the task view format is in Documentation. Some more details can be found R-Forge page of the ctv package.
For other questions regarding CRAN task views as a whole, please open an issue in this repository.
For contact via e-mail, please write to [email protected].
All contributions must be made under the Code of conduct.
Available task views
Note: The available task view sources are currently transferred from R-Forge to GitHub. The process is expected to be completed in March 2022.
