Compute a Nowcast by Method Name — nc

A generic dispatcher that calls the appropriate nc_* function based on a string method name. Useful for programmatic workflows.

Usage

nc_compute(data, method = "bridge", ...)

Arguments

data: A data frame or nc_dataset.
method: Character. Name of the method: "bridge".
...: Additional arguments passed to the underlying function.

Value

A nowcast_result object.

Examples

# \donttest{
set.seed(42)
d <- data.frame(
  date = as.Date(paste0(2015:2024, "-01-01")),
  gdp = cumsum(rnorm(10, 0.5, 0.3)),
  ind1 = cumsum(rnorm(10, 0.4, 0.2))
)
nc_compute(d, method = "bridge", formula = gdp ~ ind1)
