backpack

One package to rule them all, one package to find them, one package to bring them all and in the darkness bind them!

Easily discover, collect, and learn to use packages for statiscal modeling. Use built-in binders (collections) of packages for topics in statistics. Create your own binders to store collections of packages for easy installing and loading within your projects. Also, explore lessons on multivariate statistical modeling in R.
