Adding astsa/forecast/sweep/timetk/doBy packages

[markdrussell]

Hello!

I am setting up a new project that use ARIMA to forecast disease incidence rates pre- vs. post-COVID. This will be based upon the following code:

https://gitlab.com/envhe/wales-cec-ltc-incidence-shiny-dashboard/-/blob/main/sarima_Incidence_rates_18May2022.R?ref_type=heads

I have adapted this code and so that it works locally on my device. However, it requires the following packages, which I don't believe are currently available in the R docker image (please correct me if wrong!):

https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/astsa/index.html
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/sweep/index.html
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/timetk/index.html
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/forecast/index.html
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/doBy/index.html

Would it be possible to have these packages added? Apologies in advance - I'm not an R expert (usually a Stata user), but the R setup for ARIMA is much better than in Stata.

Many thanks,
Mark
