You will find functions such as these in the thousands of packages that are
available once you have installed R. You can use rseek.org to search for
specific topics. Good overviews are found in the CRAN Task Views (from the
main R webpage, click on CRAN, select a mirror host, and then select Task
Views from the list on the left.

I usually try google searches first. While not always successful, I am
frequently surprised by how well it does.

I strongly second the use of CRAN task views. IMHO, some fine folks
have volunteered their time and efforts to produce this very well
written series of guides to what's in R. It and they deserve greater
recognition.

rseek.org is simply a custom Google search for R-related things. It
does an even better job pulling out only R-related material, and
organizing it in a useful format.
Absolutely.
