title: Are there any official naming conventions for R?
body: <p>Most programming languages have official naming conventions for functions, parameters, classes, etc. Official here means that the conventions are issued by the organization behind the language. </p>
  
  <p><strong>Are there any official naming conventions for R?</strong></p>
  
  <p>I'm aware that naming conventions and R have been discussed <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1944910/what-is-your-preferred-style-for-naming-variables-in-r">before</a> on stackoverflow, but that was some time ago and my question is not "what naming convention do you prefer?" but rather concerns whether official naming conventions exist.</p>
