R package (for statistical computing)

An R package is a collection of pre-written functions, data sets, and tools that extend the capabilities of the R programming language, specifically for statistical analysis and data visualization. Think of it as a specialized toolkit that allows users to perform complex tasks—like modeling, plotting, or data manipulation—more efficiently without having to write all code from scratch. These packages are created by the community and can be easily installed and integrated into R, making it a versatile environment for conducting detailed data analysis and generating insights across various scientific and business domains.
