bridgr is designed to simplify the implementation and evaluation ofbridge models, which are useful for nowcasting (predicting the presentor near-term) and forecasting macroeconomic variables like GDP.
Bridge models are statistical tools that link high-frequency indicators(e.g., monthly industrial production) to low-frequency target variables(e.g., quarterly GDP) by forecasting and aggregating the indicators tomatch the target’s frequency. They enable timely predictions before theofficial release of low-frequency data, making them essential forpolicymakers who need early insights for decision-making.
