[R] Package to work with weight based data

[Joao Sollari Lopes]

Hi Biswajit Kar,

Take a look at this CRAN Task:
https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/OfficialStatistics.html

Also, I've been re-writing functions of package "ineq" so that they 
accept weights. I can provide those if you find them useful.
Finally, there are a bunch of packages in CRAN that provide plottings 
using weights (e.g. "weights", "Hmisc", "ENmisc", ...)
