Dimensional modeling done the tidy way!

What the package contains

The "cross by" family of functions, which prepare data to be aggregated in ways useful for dimensional modeling:

• cross_by_periods, which prepares data with a date column to be aggregated by calendar periods (day/week/month), rolling windows, or "X weeks ago"
• cross_by_dimensions, which adds an All level to each segment

Methods for annotating aggregated metrics with useful metadata:

• create_metrics, which gathers a table of metrics into a list of tbl_metric objects and attaches metadata to it
• create_metric_group, which annotates a group of metrics with the same dimensions as a tbl_metric_group

Verbs for working with dimensions in metric tables, including:

• discard_dimensions (and its inverse keep_dimensions), which filters for only the All segment of dimensions and removes those columns
• condense_metric, which retains only observations with one non-All dimension (in order to store a compact version that can still be explored one dimension at a time)
