When looking for functions whose exact name is unknown
# Functions related to “shrinkage” methods

install.packages(“sos”)
library(sos)

# Sort on creation data of resultant packages
summaryObj <- summary(shrinkageResults)
pkgTable <- summaryObj$PackageSummary
pkgTable <- pkgTable[order(pkgTable$Date,decreasing=T),]
