[R] How do I know which package is loaded?

[Thierry Onkelinx]

Dear Aron,

- Set the build tools in RStudio to build a package (via Tools -> Project
options -> Build tools)
- Use the Build pane to "Build" and then "Check" the package

Best regards,

Thierry

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more
than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say
what the experiment died of. ~ Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher
The plural of anecdote is not data. ~ Roger Brinner
The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not
ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of data.
~ John Tukey
