broom 0.5.1

• tidy(), glance() and augment() are now re-exported from the generics package.

broom 0.5.0

Tidiers now return tibble::tibble()s. This release also includes several new tidiers, new vignettes and a large number of bugfixes. We've also begun to more rigorously define tidier specifications: we've laid part of the groundwork for stricter and more consistent tidying, but the new tidier specifications are not yet complete. These will appear in the next release.

Additionally, users should note that we are in the process of migrating tidying methods for mixed models and Bayesian models to broom.mixed. broom.mixed is not on CRAN yet, but all mixed model and Bayesian tidiers will be deprecated once broom.mixed is on CRAN. No further development of mixed model tidiers will take place in broom.

Breaking changes

Almost all tidiers should now return tibbles rather than data.frames. Deprecated tidying methods, Bayesian and mixed model tidiers still return data.frames.

Users are mostly to experience issues when using augment in situations where tibbles are stricter than data frames. For example, specifying model covariates as a matrix object will now error:

library(broom)
library(quantreg)

fit <- rq(stack.loss ~ stack.x, tau = .5)
broom::augment(fit)
#> Error: Column `stack.x` must be a 1d atomic vector or a list

This is because the default data argument data = model.frame(fit) cannot be coerced to tibble.

Another consequence of this is that augment.survreg and augment.coxph from the survival package now require that the user explicitly passes data to either the data or newdata arguments.

These restrictions will be relaxed in an upcoming release of broom pending support for matrix-columns in tibbles.

Developers are likely to experience issues:

• subsetting tibbles with [, which returns a tibble rather than a vector.
• setting rownames on tibbles, which is deprecated.
• using matrix and vector tidiers, now deprecated.
• handling the additional tibble classes tbl_df and tbl beyond the data.frame class
• linking to defunct documentation files -- broom recently moved all tidiers to a roxygen2 template based documentation system.

New vignettes

This version of broom includes several new vignettes:

• vignette("available-methods", package = "broom") contains a table detailing which tidying methods are available
• vignette("adding-tidiers", package = "broom") is an in-progress guide for contributors on how to add new tidiers to broom
• vignette("glossary", package = "broom") contains tables describing acceptable argument names and column names for the in-progress new specification.

Several old vignettes have also been updated:

• vignette("bootstrapping", package = "broom") now relies on the rsample package and a tidyr::nest-purrr::map-tidyr::unnest workflow. This is now the recommended workflow for working with multiple models, as opposed to the old dplyr::rowwise-dplyr::do based workflow.

Deprecations

• Matrix and vector tidiers have been deprecated in favor of tibble::as_tibble and tibble::enframe
• Dataframe tidiers and rowwise dataframe tidiers have been deprecated
• bootstrap() has been deprecated in favor of the rsample
• inflate has been removed from broom

Other changes

• The alpha argument has been removed from quantreg tidy methods
• The separate.levels argument has been removed from tidy.TukeyHSD. To obtain the effect of separate.levels = TRUE, users may tidyr::separate after tidying. This is consistent with the multcomp tidier behavior.
• The fe.error argument was removed from tidy.felm. When fixed effects are tidier, their standard errors are now always included.
• The diag argument in tidy.dist has been renamed diagonal

• Added tidy methods for lists, including u, d, v lists from svd, and x, y, z lists used by image and persp
• Added quick argument to tidy.lm, tidy.nls, and tidy.biglm, to create a smaller and faster version of the output.

broom 0.3.7

• Added tidiers for "plm" (panel linear model) objects from the plm package.
• Added tidy.coeftest for coeftest objects from the lmtest package.
• Set up tidy.lm to work with "mlm" (multiple linear model) objects (those with multiple response columns).

broom 0.3.6

• Fixed bug in tidy.pairwise.htest, which now can handle cases where the grouping variable is numeric.
• Added tidy.aovlist method. This added stringr package to IMPORTS to trim whitespace from the beginning and end of the term and stratum columns. This also required adjusting tidy.aov so that it could handle strata that are missing p-values.
• Set up glance.lm to work with aov objects along with lm objects.
• Added tidy and glance for matrix objects, with tidy.matrix converting a matrix to a data frame with rownames included, and glance.matrix returning the same result as glance.data.frame.
• Changed DESCRIPTION Authors@R to new format

broom 0.3.5

• Fixed small bug in felm where the .fitted and .resid columns were matrices rather than vectors.
• Added tidiers for rlm (robust linear model) and gam (generalized additive model) objects, including adjustments to "lm" tidiers in order to handle them. See ?rlm_tidiers and ?gam_tidiers for more.
• Removed rownames from tidy.cv.glmnet output

broom 0.3.4

• The behavior of augment, particularly with regard to missing data and the na.exclude argument, has through the use of the augment_columns function been made consistent across the following models:

  • lm
  • glm
  • nls
  • merMod (lme4)
  • survreg (survival)
  • coxph (survival)

  Unit tests in tests/testthat/test-augment.R were added to ensure consistency across these models.

• tidy, augment and glance methods were added for rowwise_df objects, and are set up to apply across their rows. This allows for simple patterns such as:

    regressions <- mtcars %>% group_by(cyl) %>% do(mod = lm(mpg ~ wt, .))
    regressions %>% tidy(mod)
    regressions %>% augment(mod)
  

  See ?rowwise_df_tidiers for more.

• Added tidy and glance methods for Arima objects, and tidy for pairwise.htest objects.

• Fixes for CRAN: change package description to title case, removed NOTES, mostly by adding globals.R to declare global variables.

• This is the original version published on CRAN.

broom 0.3

• Tidiers have been added for S3 objects from the following packages:
  • lme4
  • glmnet
  • survival
  • zoo
  • felm
  • MASS (ridgelm objects)
• tidy and glance methods for data.frames have also been added, and augment.data.frame produces an error (rather than returning the same data.frame).
• stderror has been changed to std.error (affects many functions) to be consistent with broom's naming conventions for columns.
• A function bootstrap has been added based on this example, to perform the common use case of bootstrapping models.

broom 0.2

• Added "augment" S3 generic and various implementations. "augment" does something different from tidy: it adds columns to the original dataset, including predictions, residuals, or cluster assignments. This was originally described as "fortify" in ggplot2.
• Added "glance" S3 generic and various implementations. "glance" produces a one-row data frame summary, which is necessary for tidy outputs with values like R^2 or F-statistics.
• Re-wrote intro broom vignette/README to introduce all three methods.
• Wrote a new kmeans vignette.
• Added tidying methods for multcomp, sp, and map objects (from fortify-multcomp, fortify-sp, and fortify-map from ggplot2).
• Because this integrates substantial amounts of ggplot2 code (with permission), added Hadley Wickham as an author in DESCRIPTION.
