Add or replace a description on a model object and corresponding YAML. The description can be modified at any time (i.e. before or after a model is submitted).

add_description(.mod, .description)

replace_description(.mod, .description)

Arguments

.mod

The bbi_{.model_type}_model object to modify

.description

Character scalar to put in description field

Value

The modified bbi_{.model_type}_model object

Details

The description field on a bbi_{.model_type}_model object contains a character scalar with a brief description of the model. Note that it is not a required field and some users prefer to leave it blank and instead use the tags and/or notes fields to describe their models instead.

Another pattern is to fill the description field only on notable models, for instance with "Base Model" or "Final Model". This can be useful when looking at a bbi_run_log_df (the tibble output from run_log()); for example to look at only the most important models by calling run_log() %>% filter(!is.na(description)).

Functions

  • add_description: Fills the description field in a model object and corresponding YAML, if it is currently empty.

  • replace_description: Replaces description field in a model object and corresponding YAML with new description.
