Augment accepts a model object and a dataset and adds
information about each observation in the dataset. Most commonly, this
includes predicted values in the .fitted column, residuals in the
.resid column, and standard errors for the fitted values in a .se.fit
column. New columns always begin with a . prefix to avoid overwriting
columns in the original dataset.
Users may pass data to augment via either the data argument or the
newdata argument. If the user passes data to the data argument,
it must be exactly the data that was used to fit the model
object. Pass datasets to newdata to augment data that was not used
during model fitting. This still requires that all columns used to fit
the model are present.
Augment will often behavior different depending on whether data or
newdata is specified. This is because there is often information
associated with training observations (such as influences or related)
measures that is not meaningfully defined for new observations.
For convenience, many augment methods provide default data arguments,
so that augment(fit) will return the augmented training data. In these
cases augment tries to reconstruct the original data based on the model
object, with some varying degrees of success.
The augmented dataset is always returned as a tibble::tibble with the
same number of rows as the passed dataset. This means that the
passed data must be coercible to a tibble. At this time, tibbles do not
support matrix-columns. This means you should not specify a matrix
of covariates in a model formula during the original model fitting
process, and that splines::ns(), stats::poly() and
survival::Surv() objects are not supported in input data. If you
encounter errors, try explicitly passing a tibble, or fitting the original
model on data in a tibble.
We are in the process of defining behaviors for models fit with various na.action arguments, but make no guarantees about behavior when data is missing at this time.
augment(x, ...)Model object or other R object with information to append to observations.
Addition arguments to augment method.
A tibble::tibble() with information about data points.
The second argument is almost always data, which specifies the
original data object. This is not part of the S3
signature, partly because it prevents rowwise_df_tidiers from
taking a column name as the first argument. The tidiers are currently
deprecated and will soon be removed from broom, at which point
data will become part of the augment signature.
Historical note: This generic originated in the ggplot2 package,
where it was called fortify.
