broom summarizes key information about models in tidy tibble()s.
broom provides three verbs to make it convenient to interact with
model objects:
tidy()summarizes information about model componentsglance()reports information about the entire modelaugment()adds informations about observations to a dataset
For a detailed introduction, please see vignette("broom").
broom tidies 100+ models from popular modelling packages and almost
all of the model objects in the stats package that comes with base R.
vignette("available-methods") lists method availability.
If you aren’t familiar with tidy data structures and want to know how they can make your life easier, we highly recommend reading Hadley Wickham’s Tidy Data.
# we recommend installing the entire tidyverse modeling set, which includes broom:
install.packages("tidymodels")
# alternatively, to install just broom:
install.packages("broom")
# to get the development version from GitHub:
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("tidymodels/broom")If you find a bug, please file a minimal reproducible example in the issues.
tidy() produces a tibble() where each row contains information about
an important component of the model. For regression models, this often
corresponds to regression coefficients. This is can be useful if you
want to inspect a model or create custom visualizations.
library(broom)
fit <- lm(Sepal.Width ~ Petal.Length + Petal.Width, iris)
tidy(fit)

measures and related statistics. This is useful to check for model
misspecification and to compare many models.

If you have never made a pull request to an R package before, broom is
an excellent place to start. Find an
issue with the Beginner
Friendly tag and comment that you’d like to take it on and we’ll help
you get started.
We encourage typo corrections, bug reports, bug fixes and feature requests. Feedback on the clarity of the documentation is especially valuable.
If you are interested in adding new tidiers methods to broom, please
read vignette("adding-tidiers").
