Package Management in R

A hands-on look at both renv and rv to take control of your project’s package library.

A foundational strength of the R language is the vast ecosystem of packages available that cover a wide array of statistical analysis techniques, data processing, innovative web application development, and much more. With the increased importance of R in the life sciences industry, it is more important than ever to have effective tools for managing these packages. In this edition of the R/Pharma Hangout sessions, we take a deeper look at both {renv} and the new rv package managers with a panel featuring Kevin Ushey, Devin Pastoor, and Shannon Pileggi to share best practices and advice for adopting these frameworks for your next project!
