Dear Sirs, I am an economist, and I have learned about R from an statician. I would like to get some instructions on which packages of R should I install. I am intending to use R for graphical analysis, correlaction, and also estimation - this latter the least, since I have an econometric package which performes it very well. I should also mention that I am going to work mostly with longitudinal data. Note: the computer center of my school accepted installing R in our network. I thank you very much in advance for the attention. Sincerely, Prof. Carlos A. Cinquetti Dep.

Hi Carlos, You should look at 'ts' 'tseries' and 'dse' packages. Don't forget to take a look on the basic R manuals.

Hi, I think you should install the bundle of recommanded packages, which includes e.g. MASS (functions from Venables & Ripley book), modreg (various non-parametric methods), survival (which is not well suited for econometrics). Foreign allows data conversation between various formats (like SPSS and stata), I think it is included in recommended). If you are working with latex, xtable may be of interest. I think these are the packages which I am using, but I am rather a microeconometrics guy.
