Me and some colleagues talk about our favourite R packages over on the Cardinal Path blog. Here is one of mine:
The R package googlesheets is an easy to use way to access and manage Google Sheets through R. I like being able to connect directly to data stored in a Google Sheet because when I pass my R program to someone else, the data source (from a URL) is the same. Also, since Google Sheets can be shared with anyone the results from my programs that have been output to Google Sheets will automatically update so that everyone will be looking at the most up to date version without having to email new files to people. I love that it works with the pipe operator (%>%) so a lot of the operations are intuitive to use if you are familiar with using dplyr.
I also frequently use dplyr, caret, and forecast. What are your favourite R packages?
