Description
I have tried to use a custom model, but I have noticed that this package seems to work with "gaussian" and "student" families (from the bsts package), but not with the "logit" and "poisson" families (which are supported by bsts).
I think adding support for these families would be useful.
Another alternative, probably easier to implement (but probably suboptimal), would be to add support for variable transformations and backtrasformations.

I think the poisson family is particularly important since it is very common to deal with count data.
