I'd like to suggest two new packages for the official statistics task view. (Disclaimer: I am the author of both.) Both of these packages have been on CRAN for close to two years now, are actively maintained, and add tools/functionality not currently on the task view.
piar provides tools to make price indexes that aggregate a collection of elemental indexes according to a hierarchical structure. Includes methods to flexibly build indexes from multiple sources of data, chain indexes over time, and construct product contributions. (Related method - Indices, Indicators, Tables and Visualization of Indicators)
sps implements the sequential Poisson method for drawing probability-proportional-to-size samples. Includes tools to coordinate samples with permanent random numbers, draw stratified samples, and use other order-sampling methods. (Production of Official Statistics - Sampling)
Please let me know if these are suitable for inclusion in the official statistics task view, or if the purpose or contribution of these packages is unclear. I'm happy to submit a PR.
