This is a huge advantage when using R, since you don't have to reinvent the wheel to make use of very high quality packages that probably implement the functionality you're looking for, and if there aren't any such packages, you can contribute your own!

Even if CRAN doesn't have a package with the functionality you need, it may exist in personal Git repositories in GitLab, GitHub, Bitbucket, and other Git hosting websites. As a matter of fact, two of the packages we will install come from GitHub, not CRAN, specifically ggbiplot and ggthemr. Finally, you may install specific versions of packages, as we will do with the caret package.

All the packages used in this book are shown in the following table, with an indication...
