Feature Request: Poly
Hello, I'm reaching out to request a part of the modelling framework that is similar to R's poly. I think this would be very beneficial within linear modeling as well as other places
This is related to both #29 and #21 but I haven't seen any recent updates regarding this specific feature. Are there people actively working on it? My knowledge of the R poly is not good, so I wouldn't be a great person to tackle the problem, but I'm interested in using it and I'm sure there are many others.
You'll be interested to know that something that (roughly) approximates that is included as a test case for adding features to the formula language in #71: https://github.com/JuliaStats/StatsModels.jl/pull/71/files/39b413a0b7e70660d0aa8ac88c547a0a96bf4216#diff-0eed3b85962bbde3d2a1de890bdac3f8
Once that PR is merged we'll probably include something like poly in this package.
(Which is to say that a PR to that effect would definitely be welcome once #71 is merged which should be soon, and the documentation/tests from #71 show how to do it which should be enough to get you started on a proper implementation :smile: )
