Broom tidies a number of lists that are effectively S3
objects without a class attribute. For example, stats::optim()
,
svd()
and akima::interp()
produce consistent output, but because
they do not have a class attribute, they cannot be handled by S3 dispatch.
These functions look at the elements of a list and determine if there is
an appropriate tidying method to apply to the list. Those tidiers are
themselves are implemented as functions of the form tidy_<function>
or glance_<function>
and are not exported (but they are documented!).
If no appropriate tidying method is found, throws an error.
