# A Reading Recommendation: the CRAN Bayesian Task View If you work in Bayesian statistics and use R, one page is worth bookmarking: > **[CRAN Task View: Bayesian Inference](https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/Bayesian.html)** A **CRAN Task View** is a curated, expert-maintained guide to the R packages for a particular topic. The **Bayesian Inference** view catalogs 200+ packages for Bayesian computation and organizes them by purpose. It is maintained by Jong Hee Park, Michela Cameletti, Xun Pang, and Kevin M. Quinn, and is revised regularly (the current version is dated March 16, 2026), so it stays a reliable snapshot of the ecosystem rather than a one-off list. --- **Disclaimer.** This recommendation is shared for **study and reference purposes only**. I am not affiliated with CRAN, the R Project, or the maintainers of the Task View or any package listed, and this is not an endorsement or professional advice.
