 Description: Implements a procedure for forecasting time series data based on
-    an additive model where non-linear trends are fit with yearly and weekly
-    seasonality, plus holidays.  It works best with daily periodicity data with
-    at least one year of historical data.  Prophet is robust to missing data,
-    shifts in the trend, and large outliers.
+    an additive model where non-linear trends are fit with yearly, weekly, and
+    daily seasonality, plus holiday effects. It works best with time series
+    that have strong seasonal effects and several seasons of historical data.
+    Prophet is robust to missing data and shifts in the trend, and typically
+    handles outliers well.
 Depends:
     R (>= 3.2.3),
     Rcpp (>= 0.12.0)
