Tip 3: Package selection

“R is notorious for allowing users to solve problems in many ways.”

Often someone else has solved problems you’re going to approach. No need to reinvent the wheel!

Effective package selection at the outset helps establish your workflow and constrain your solution space.

Also useful emphasis on package intercompatibility – e.g. working within the tidyverse.

Lots of packages available. How do people choose the right ones?
