trending aims to provides a coherent interface to several modelling tools. Whilst it is useful in an interactive context, it’s main focus is to provide an intuitive interface on which other packages can be developed (e.g. trendbreaker).
Model specification: Interfaces to common models through intuitive functions; lm_model(), glm_model(), glm_nb_model and brms_model*.
Model fitting and prediction: Once specified, models can be fit to data and generate confidence and prediction intervals for future data using fit() and predict().
Error and warning catching: The provided methods for fit and predict catch all warnings and errors, returning the output and these captured values in a list.
