Broom

Alex Hayes | Solving the model representation problem with broom | RStudio (2019)

The R objects used to represent model fits are notoriously inconsistent, making data analysis inconvenient and frustrating. The broom package resolves this issue by defining a consistent way to represent model fits. By summarizing essential information about fits in tidy tibbles, broom makes it easy to programmatically work with model objects. Combining broom with list-columns results in an especially powerful way to work with many model fits at once. This talk will feature several case studies demonstrating how broom resolves common problems in data analysis VIEW MATERIALS https://buff.ly/2FGKFkj About the Author Alex Hayes Alex is interested in how statistics can help people make better decisions.
