broom 1.0.7

CRAN release: 2024-09-26

  • Corrected nobs entries in glance.coxph() output: the package used to return length(object$linear.predictors) (equal to n rather than nevent) and now uses survival’s method (#1224).

  • Corrected confidence interval values in tidy.boot() and addressed errors when bootstrapping confidence intervals for multiple terms (#1212).

  • Reverted deprecation of tidiers for objects from the margins package now that the package is back on CRAN (#1220).

  • Addressed failure in tidy.anova() ahead of upcoming car release (#1215).

  • Clarified documentation for a number of cases where dots were documented as unused but actually passed to internal functions (#1214).

  • Addressed error in augment.betareg() and augment.betamfx() with data = NULL and non-null newdata (#1216, #1218).

  • glance.lm() now returns non-NA values for statistic, p.value, and df for models fitted with a single predictor and no intercept (@jrob95, #1209).

broom 1.0.6

CRAN release: 2024-05-17

New Features

Deprecations

  • Soft-deprecated tidiers for margins objects, as the package was archived from CRAN in April 2024. In the case that the package is back on CRAN before the next package release, broom will once again Suggest and test support for the package (#1200).

  • Moved forward with deprecation of tidiers for objects from the sp package. See resources linked in tidymodels/broom#1142 for more information on migration from retiring spatial packages.

Bug Fixes

  • While this broom release contains no changes to the tidy.survfit() method for objects from the survival package, the package has bumped the minimum required version for survival. Before survival 3.6-4, tidy.survfit() propagated “inconsistent” n.censor values from survival for multi-state models (#1195).

  • Corrected confidence interval values for precision components in tidy.betareg() output (#1169).

  • Fixed bug in tidier for car::linearHypothesis() output with long formulas (#1171).

  • Corrected coefficient values in tidy.varest() output (#1174).

broom 1.0.5

CRAN release: 2023-06-09

  • tidy.coxph() will now pass its ellipses ... to summary() internally (#1151 by @ste-tuf).

  • Transitioned the deprecation of the region argument to tidy.SpatialPolygonsDataFrame from a warn- to a hard-deprecation (#1142).

  • Removed maptools and rgeos as Suggested packages ahead of their retirement. sp tidiers will be removed from a future release of the package (#1142).

  • Addressed bug in mlogit tidiers where augment.mlogit() would fail if supplied a model fitted with a non-default dfidx() (#1156 by @gregmacfarlane).

  • Addressed bug in ANOVA tidiers where tidy.anova() would fail if passed a model with many predictors (#1159 by @jwilliman).

  • Addressed warnings in ANOVA tidiers for unrecognized column names Resid..Df, Resid..Dev, and Deviance; those columns will be renamed df.residual, residual.deviance, and deviance, respectively (#1159 by @jwilliman).

broom 1.0.4

CRAN release: 2023-03-10

  • Added an intercept argument to tidy.aov(), a logical indicating whether to include information on the intercept as the first row of results (#1144 by @victor-vscn).
  • Moved forward with soft-deprecation of tidiers for objects from the sp package ahead of the retirement of the rgeos and maptools packages later this year. sp tidiers will be removed from a future release of the package (#1142).
  • Fixed bug in augment.glm() where the .std.resid column always contained standardized deviance residuals regardless of the value passed to the type.residuals argument (#1147).

broom 1.0.3

CRAN release: 2023-01-25

  • Addressed test failures on R-devel.
  • Fixed bug in tidy.multinom() where the conf.level argument would be ignored.

broom 1.0.2

CRAN release: 2022-12-15

  • The default data argument for augment.coxph() and augment.survreg() has been transitioned from NULL to model.frame(x) (#1126 by @capnrefsmmat).
  • Migrated ‘ggplot2’ from strong to weak dependency, i.e. moved from Imports to Suggests.
  • Fixed a bug where augment() results would not include residuals when the response term included a function call (#1121, #946, #937, #124).

broom 1.0.1

CRAN release: 2022-08-29

  • Improves performance of tidy.lm() and tidy.glm() for full-rank fits (#1112 by @capnrefsmmat).
  • Moves forward with deprecation of tidiers for sparse matrices outputted from the Matrix package, initially soft-deprecated in broom 0.5.0. The Matrix tidiers were light wrappers around coercion methods that will now be deprecated from Matrix itself in the upcoming 1.4-2 release. The affected methods are tidy.sparseMatrix(), tidy.dgCMatrix(), and tidy.dgTMatrix(). Note that tidy.confusionMatrix(), for relevant objects outputted from the caret package, is unaffected (#1113).
  • tidy.anova() works again with anova objects from the lme4 package (broken by addition of the terms column in the previous release)

broom 1.0.0

CRAN release: 2022-07-01

broom 1.0.0 is the first “production” release of the broom package, and includes a number of notable changes to both functionality and governance.

As of this release, the broom team will be following a set of guidelines that clarify the scope of further development on the package. Given the package’s wide use and long history, these guidelines prioritize backward compatibility over internal consistency and completeness. You can read those guidelines here!

We’ve also made notable changes to error handling in this release:

  • Adds minimal ellipsis checking to warn on commonly misspecified arguments passed through ellipses. Notably:
    • tidy() methods will now warn when supplied an exponentiate argument if it will be ignored.
    • augment() methods will now warn when supplied a newdata argument if it will be ignored.
  • The warning regarding tidiers only maintained via dispatch to lm and glm is now displayed only once per session, per unique dispatch. That is, if a class_a object is tidied using a (g)lm method, broom will not warn when tidying class_a objects for the rest of the session, but if a class_b object is tidied using a (g)lm method in the same session, broom will warn again (#1101).

Other fixes and improvements:

  • Add exponentiate argument to tidy.boot() (#1039).
  • Update in tidy.htest() converting matrix-columns to vector-columns (#1081).
  • Address failures in tidy.glht() with conf.int = TRUE (#1103).
  • Address failures in tidy.zoo() when input data does not have colnames (#1080).
  • Transition tidiers for bivariate linear or spline-based interpolation—using list tidiers to interface with objects from the akima package is now considered off-label. See the interp package for a FOSS alternative.
  • Address failures in tidy.svyolr() when p.values = TRUE. Instead of aliasing tidy.polr() directly, tidy.svyolr() lightly wraps that method and warns if p.values is supplied (#1107).
  • Adds a term column and introduces support for car::lht() output in tidy.anova() (#1106 by @grantmcdermott).
  • Adds a dedicated glance.anova method (which previously dispatched to the
    deprecated glance.data.frame() tidier, #1106 by @grantmcdermott).

broom 0.8.0

CRAN release: 2022-04-13

This update makes significant improvements to documentation, fixes a number of bugs, and brings the development flow of the package up to date with other packages in the tidymodels.

In the big picture, this release:

  • Makes many improvements to documentation:
    • All tidiers now have example code demonstrating usage in their documentation. Tidiers for base packages as well as selected others also include sample code for visualization of results with ggplot2.
    • Code examples in the documentation largely now follow consistent style—these changes were made largely to reflect the tidyverse style guide, addressing spacing, object naming, and commenting, among other things.
    • Examples previously marked with \dontrun or \donttest have been workshopped to run reliably.
  • Clarifies errors and warnings for deprecated and unmaintained tidiers.
  • Ensures that tidiers are placed in files named according to the model-supplying package rather than the model object class for easier navigability of the source code.

Bug fixes and other improvements

  • Fix glance.fixest error when model includes only fixed effects and no regressors (#1018 by @arcruz0, #1088 by @vincentarelbundock).
  • Address excessive messaging from tidy.speedlm (#1084 by @cgoo4, #1087 by @vincentarelbundock).
  • Add nobs column to the output of glance.svyglm (#1085 by @fschaffner, #1086 by @vincentarelbundock).
  • Ensure tidy.prcomp description entries use consistent punctuation (#1072 by @PursuitOfDataScience).
  • Address breaking changes in glance.fixest and tidy.btergm.
  • Simplify handling of MASS::polr output in the corresponding tidy and augment methods.
  • Align continuous integration with current standards in tidymodels packages.

broom 0.7.12

CRAN release: 2022-01-28

  • Add tidiers for vars objects (#979 and #161 by @vincentarelbundock and @Diego-MX)

This release also restores tidiers for felm objects from the lfe package, which was recently unarchived from CRAN.

Improvements to existing tidiers

  • tidy.multinom works with matrix response (#977 and #666 by @vincentarelbundock and @atyre2)
  • Various bug fixes and improvements to documentation and errors.

broom 0.7.3

CRAN release: 2020-12-16

In broom 0.7.0, we introduced an error for model objects that subclassed lm and relied on tidy.lm(), or similarly for tidy.glm(). Tidiers for these objects were supported unintentionally, and we worried that tidiers for these objects would silently report inaccurate results.

In hindsight, this change was unnecessarily abrupt. We’ve decided to roll back this change, instead providing the following warning before allowing such objects to fall back to the lm/glm tidier methods:

Tidiers for objects of class {subclass} are not maintained by the broom team, and are only supported through the {dispatched_method} tidier method. Please be cautious in interpreting and reporting broom output.”

In addition,

  • Restores tidiers for summary.lm objects (#953 by @grantmcdermott)
  • Deprecate tidiers for the lfe package, which was archived from CRAN.
  • Various bug fixes and improvements to documentation and errors.

broom 0.7.2

CRAN release: 2020-10-20

  • Various bug fixes and improvements to documentation and errors.

broom 0.7.1

CRAN release: 2020-10-01

While broom 0.7.1 is a minor release, it includes a number of exciting new features and bug fixes!

New tidiers
  • Add tidiers for margins objects. (#700 by @grantmcdermott)
  • Added tidier methods for mlogit objects (#887 by @gregmacfarlane)
  • Add glance.coeftest() method (#932 by @grantmcdermott)
Improvements to existing tidiers

One of the more major improvements in this release is the addition of the interval argument to some augment methods for confidence, prediction, and credible intervals. These columns will be consistently labeled .lower and .upper! (#908 by @grantmcdermott, #925 by @bwiernik)

In addition…

  • Extended the glance.aov() method to include an r.squared column!
  • glance.survfit() now passes ... to summary.survfit() to allow for adjustment of RMST and other measures (#880 by @vincentarelbundock)
  • Several unsupported model objects that subclass glm and lm now error more informatively.
  • A number of improvements to documentation throughout the package.
Bug fixes
  • Fixed newdata warning message in augment.*() output when the newdata didn’t contain the response variable—augment methods no longer expect the response variable in the supplied newdata argument. (#897 by @rudeboybert)
  • Fixed a bug related to tidy.geeglm() not being sensitive to the exponentiate argument (#867)
  • Fixed augment.fixest() returning residuals in the .fitted column. The method also now takes a type.residuals argument and defaults to the same type.predict argument as the fixest predict() method. (#877 by @karldw)
  • Fix tidy.felm confidence interval bug. Replaces “robust” argument with “se.type”. (#919 by @grantmcdermott; supersedes #818 by @kuriwaki)
  • Fix a bug in tidy.drc() where some term labels would result in the overwriting of entries in the curve column (#914)
  • Fixed bug related to univariate zoo series in tidy.zoo() (#916 by @WillemVervoort)
  • Fixed a bug related to tidy.prcomp() assigning the wrong PC labels from “loadings” and “scores” matrices (#910 by @tavareshugo)
  • Fixed tidy.polr() bug where p-values could only be returned if exponentiate = FALSE.
Deprecations

We followed through with the planned deprecation of character vector tidiers in this release. Other vector tidiers that were soft-deprecated in 0.7.0 will be fully deprecated in a later release.

broom 0.7.0

CRAN release: 2020-07-09

broom 0.7.0 is a major release with a large number of new tidiers, soft-deprecations, and planned hard-deprecations of functions and arguments.

Big picture changes

  • We have changed how we report degrees of freedom for lm objects (#212, #273). This is especially important for instructors in statistics courses. Previously the df column in glance.lm() reported the rank of the design matrix. Now it reports degrees of freedom of the numerator for the overall F-statistic. This is equal to the rank of the model matrix minus one (unless you omit an intercept column), so the new df should be the old df minus one.

  • We are moving away from supporting summary.*() objects. In particular, we have removed tidy.summary.lm() as part of a major overhaul of internals. Instead of calling tidy() on summary-like objects, please call tidy() directly on model objects moving forward.

  • We have removed all support for the quick argument in tidy() methods. This is to simplify internals and is for maintainability purposes. We anticipate this will not influence many users as few people seemed to use it. If this majorly cramps your style, let us know, as we are considering a new verb to return only model parameters. In the meantime, stats::coef() together with tibble::enframe() provides most of the functionality of tidy(..., quick = TRUE).

  • All conf.int arguments now default to FALSE, and all conf.level arguments now default to 0.95. This should primarily affect tidy.survreg(), which previously always returned confidence intervals, although there are some others.

  • Tidiers for emmeans-objects use the arguments conf.int and conf.level instead of relying on the argument names native to the emmeans::summary()-methods (i.e., infer and level). Similarly, multcomp-tidiers now include a call to summary() as previous behavior was akin to setting the now removed argument quick = TRUE. Both families of tidiers now use the adj.p.value column name when appropriate. Finally, emmeans-, multcomp-, and TukeyHSD-tidiers now consistently use the column names contrast and null.value instead of comparison, level1 and level2, or lhs and rhs (see #692).

Deprecations

This release of broom soft-deprecates the following functions and tidier methods:

We have also gone forward with our planned mixed model deprecations, and have removed the following methods, which now live in broom.mixed:

  • tidy.brmsfit()
  • tidy.merMod(), glance.merMod(), augment.merMod()
  • tidy.lme(), glance.lme(), augment.lme()
  • tidy.stanreg(), glance.stanreg()
  • tidyMCMC(), tidy.rjags(), tidy.stanfit()

Minor breaking changes

  • augment.factanal() now returns a tibble with columns names .fs1, .fs2, …, instead of factor1, factor2, … (#650)

  • We have renamed the output of augment.htest(). In particular, we have renamed the .residuals column to .resid and the .stdres to .std.resid for consistency. These changes will only affect chi-squared tests.

  • tidy.ridgelm() now always return a GCV column and never returns an xm column. (#533 by @jmuhlenkamp)

  • tidy.dist() no longer supports the upper argument.

A refactoring of augment() methods

The internals of augment.*() methods have largely been overhauled.

  • If you pass a dataset to augment() via the data or newdata arguments, you are now guaranteed that the augmented dataset will have exactly the same number of rows as the original dataset. This differs from previous behavior primarily when there are missing values. Previously augment() would drop rows containing NA. This should no longer be the case.

  • augment.*() methods no longer accept an na.action argument.

  • In previous versions, several augment.*() methods inherited the augment.lm() method, but required additions to the augment.lm() method itself. We have shifted away from this approach in favor of re-implementing many augment.*() methods as standalone methods making use of internal helper functions. As a result, augment.lm() and some related methods have deprecated (previously unused) arguments.

  • augment() tries to give an informative error when data isn’t the original training data.

  • The .resid column in the output of augment().* methods is now consistently defined as y - y_hat

New tidiers

  • anova objects from the car package (#754)
  • pam objects from the cluster package (#637 by @abbylsmith)
  • drm objects from the drc package (#574 by @edild)
  • summary_emm objects from the emmeans package (#691 by @crsh)
  • epi.2by2 objects from the epiR package (#711)
  • fixest objects from the fixest package (#785 by @karldw)
  • regsubsets objects from the leaps package (#535)
  • lm.beta objects from the lm.beta package (#545 by @mattle24)
  • rma objects from the metafor package (#674 by @malcolmbarrett, @softloud)
  • mfx, logitmfx, negbinmfx, poissonmfx, probitmfx, and betamfx objects from themfx package (#700 by @grantmcdermott)
  • lmrob and glmrob objects from the robustbase package (#205, #505)
  • sarlm objects from the spatialreg package (#847 by @gregmacfarlane and @petrhrobar)
  • speedglm objects from the speedglm package (#685)
  • svyglm objects from the survey package (#611)
  • systemfit objects from the systemfit package (by @jaspercooper)
  • We have restored a simplified version of glance.aov(), which used to inherit from the glance.lm() method and now contains only the following columns: logLik, AIC, BIC, deviance, df.residual, and nobs (see #212). Note that tidy.aov() gives more complete information about degrees of freedom in an aov object.

Improvements to existing tidiers

  • tidy.felm() now has a robust = TRUE/FALSE option that supports robust and cluster standard errors. (#781 by @kuriwaki)

  • Make .fitted values respect type.predict argument of augment.clm(). (#617)

  • Return factor rather than numeric class predictions in .fitted of augment.polr(). (#619) Add an option to return p.values in tidy.polr(). (#833 by @LukasWallrich)

  • tidy.kmeans() now uses the names of the input variables in the output by default. Set col.names = NULL to recover the old behavior.

  • Previously, F-statistics for weak instruments were returned through glance.ivreg(). F-statistics are now returned through tidy.ivreg(instruments = TRUE). Default is tidy.ivreg(instruments = FALSE). glance.ivreg() still returns Wu-Hausman and Sargan test statistics.

  • glance.biglm() now returns a df.residual column.

  • tidy.prcomp() argument matrix gained new options "scores", "loadings", and "eigenvalues". (#557 by @GegznaV)

  • tidy_optim() now provides the standard error if the Hessian is present. (#529 by @billdenney)

  • tidy.htest() column names are now run through make.names() to ensure syntactic correctness. (#549 by @karissawhiting)

  • tidy.lmodel2() now returns a p.value column. (#570)

  • tidy.lsmobj() gained a conf.int argument for consistency with other tidiers.

  • tidy.polr() now returns p-values if p.values is set to TRUE and the model does not contain factors with more than two levels.

  • tidy.zoo() now doesn’t change column names that have spaces or other special characters (previously they were converted to data.frame friendly column names by make.names.)

  • glance.lavaan() now uses lavaan extractor functions instead of subsetting the fit object manually. (#835)

  • glance.lm() no longer errors when only an intercept is provided as an explanatory variable. (#865)

Bug fixes

  • Bug fix for tidy.survreg() when robust is set to TRUE in model fitting (#842, #728)
  • Bug fixes in glance.lavaan(): address confidence interval error (#577) and correct reported nobs and norig (#835)
  • Bug fix in muhaz tidiers to ensure output is always a tibble (#824)
  • Several glance.*() methods have been refactored in order to return a one-row tibble even when the model matrix is rank-deficient (#823)
  • Bug fix to return confidence intervals correct in tidy.drc() (#798)
  • Added default methods for objects that subclass glm and lm in order to error more informatively. (#749, #736, #708, #186)
  • Bug fix to allow augment.kmeans() to work with masked data (#609)
  • Bug fix to allow augment.Mclust() to work on univariate data (#490)
  • Bug fix to allow tidy.htest() to supports equal variances (#608)
  • Bug fix to better allow tidy.boot() to support confidence intervals (#581)
  • Bug fix for tidy.polr() when passed conf.int = TRUE (#498)

Other changes

  • Many glance() methods now return a nobs column, which contains the number of data points used to fit the model! (#597 by @vincentarelbundock)

  • tidy() no longer checks for a log or logit link when exponentiate = TRUE, and we have refactored to remove extraneous exponentiate arguments. If you set exponentiate = TRUE, we assume you know what you are doing and that you want exponentiated coefficients (and confidence intervals if conf.int = TRUE) regardless of link function.

  • We now use rlang::arg_match() when possible instead of arg.match() to give more informative errors on argument mismatches.

  • The package’s site has moved from https://broom.tidyverse.org/ to https://broom.tidymodels.org/.

  • Revised several vignettes and moved them to the tidymodels.org website. The existing vignettes will now simply link to the revised versions.

  • Many improvements to consistency and clarity of documentation.

  • Various warnings resulting from changes to the tidyr API in v1.0.0 have been fixed. (#870)

  • Removed dependencies on reshape2 and superseded functions in dplyr.

  • All documentation now links to help files rather than topics.

For developers and contributors

  • Moved core tests to the modeltests package.

  • Generally, after this release, the broom dev team will first ask that attempts to add tidier methods supporting a model object are first directed to the model-owning package. An article describing best practices in doing so can be found on the {tidymodels} website at https://www.tidymodels.org/learn/develop/broom/, and we will continue adding additional resources to that article as we develop them. In the case that the maintainer is uninterested in taking on the tidier methods, please note this in your issue or PR.

  • Added a new vignette discussing how to implement new tidier methods in non-broom packages.

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:

Several old vignettes have also been updated:

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

  • 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 to new format

broom 0.3.5

CRAN release: 2015-01-05

  • 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

CRAN release: 2014-11-23

  • 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.
