deweather (development version)

The plot assemblies in plotPD() and testMod() are now powered by patchwork. This will allow for more post-hoc control of the plot assembly using & for example.

Fixed an issue where buildMod() would fail if there wasn’t a character variable (e.g., “weekday”).
Added ylab back as an explicit option for plotPD().
prepData() will now formally error if mydata$date is numeric/character/factor (i.e., not a date/datetime).
Fixed a bug where plotPD() would work differently if the input to buildMod() was a data.frame rather than a tibble.

All functions which expect a deweather object now use the argument name dw_model for consistency.
The default values for vars in any model-building function now uses “air_temp” over “temp”. This brings it in line with road_data and worldmet outputs.
gbm.interactions() has been renamed gbmInteractions() for consistency with other functions.
gbmInf() has been renamed plotInfluence() to be more descriptive and consistent with other plotting functions.
plotAllPD() has been combined with plotPD() and has therefore been removed.
dat is no longer exported. Users should use road_data to demo deweather functions.

plotPD() now holds all the functionality for plotting partial dependency plots, deprecating plotAllPD(). (#12)
- By default, all partial dependencies are plotted (similar to plotAllPD()). The variable argument allows users to specify specific variables (similar to the old plotPD()). Multiple variables can be provided.
- The col argument controls the colour of the PD plots. If multiple colours are specified, they are repeated until all variables have been visualised.
- The polar.wd argument will optionally show the wind direction PD on polar coordinates.
plotInfluence() (previously gmbInf()) has gained two new arguments:
- sort (defaults to TRUE) will sort the variables by their mean influence, ordering the values on the y-axis.
- col controls the colours. Users can specify var (which makes each bar a different colour) or mean (which colours by the x-axis values).
Many plotting functions have received the plot argument to suppress printing their plots, bringing deweather in line with recent versions of openair.
testMod() invisibly returns its table of statistics along with its plot. (#9)
testMod() now prints one plot and one table rather than one plot and two tables. This ensures the printed plot will be less distorted.
The lists returned by plotPD() are now named, making them easier to index. (#10)
deweather model objects now have nicer print(), plot(), head(), tail() and summary() methods.

diurnalGbm() now no longer plots extra 2-way graphs as it performs its internal calculations.
