utilitarian

Utilitarian Ethics:
An action is right if it leads to the most happiness for the greatest number of people.

Utilitarian Functions:
A function is worthwhile if it leads to the most usefulness for the greatest number of users.

utilitarian is a package ‘full’ of useful R functions that reduce the day to day pain of using R as experienced by its author. Most of these functions are the result of searching for and not finding exactly what was needed and doing it myself. In the words of a certain pipe-bending robot: “Yeah, well, I’m gonna go build my own R package! With blackjack! And hookers! In fact, forget the R package!”
