predict.bigssg: Predicts for "bigssg" Objects

In bigsplines: Smoothing Splines for Large Samples

Description

Get fitted values and standard error estimates for generalized smoothing spline anova models.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'bigssg'
predict(object,newdata=NULL,se.lp=FALSE,include=object$tnames,
        effect=c("all","0","lin","non"),includeint=FALSE,
        design=FALSE,smoothMatrix=FALSE,intercept=NULL,...)

Arguments

object	Object of class "bigssg", which is output from bigssg.
newdata	Data frame or list containing the new data points for prediction. Variable names must match those used in the formula input of bigssg. See Details and Example. Default of newdata=NULL uses original data in object input.
se.lp	Logical indicating if the standard errors of the linear predictors (η) should be estimated. Default is se.lp=FALSE.
include	Which terms to include in the estimate. You can get fitted values for any combination of terms in the tnames element of an "bigssg" object.
effect	Which effect to estimate: effect="all" gives \hat{y} for given terms in include, effect="lin" gives linear portion of \hat{y} for given terms in include, and effect="non" gives nonlinear portion of \hat{y} for given terms in include. Use effect="0" to return the intercept.
includeint	Logical indicating whether the intercept should be included in the prediction. If include=object$tnames and effect="all" (default), then this input is ignored and the intercept is automatically included in the prediction.
design	Logical indicating whether the design matrix should be returned.
smoothMatrix	Logical indicating whether the smoothing matrix should be returned.
intercept	Logical indicating whether the intercept should be included in the prediction. When used, this input overrides the includeint input.
...	Ignored.

Details

Uses the coefficient and smoothing parameter estimates from a fit generalized smoothing spline anova (estimated by bigssg) to predict for new data.

Value

Returns list with elements:

fitted.values	Vector of fitted values (on data scale)
linear.predictors	Vector of fitted values (on link scale)
se.lp	Vector of standard errors of linear predictors (if se.lp=TRUE)
X	Design matrix used to create linear predictors (if design=TRUE)
ix	Index vector such that linear.predictors=X%*%object$modelspec$coef[ix] (if design=TRUE)
S	Smoothing matrix corresponding to fitted values (if smoothMatrix=TRUE)
