predict.ffmanova: Predictions, mean predictions, adjusted means and linear...

In ffmanova: Fifty-Fifty MANOVA

Predictions, mean predictions, adjusted means and linear combinations

Description

The same predictions as lm can be obtained. With some variables missing in input, adjusted means or mean predictions are computed (Langsrud et al., 2007). Linear combinations of such predictions, with standard errors, can also be obtained.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'ffmanova'
predict(object, newdata = NULL, linComb = NULL, nonEstimableAsNA = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

object	Output from ffmanova.
newdata	Data frame or list. Missing values and missing variables are possible.
linComb	A matrix defining linear combinations.
nonEstimableAsNA	When TRUE missing values are retuned when predictions cannot be made. When FALSE predictions are made anyway, but the logical vector, estimable, is added to output in cases of non-estimable results.
...	further arguments (not used)

Value

A list of two matrices:

YnewPred	Predictions, mean predictions, adjusted means or linear combinations of such predictions.
YnewStd	Corresponding standard errors.

Examples

# Generate data
x1 <- 1:6
x2 <- rep(c(100, 200), each = 3)
y1 <- x1 + rnorm(6)/10
y2 <- y1 + x2 + rnorm(6)/10

# Create ffmanova object
ff <- ffmanova(cbind(y1, y2) ~ x1 + x2)

# Predictions from the input data
predict(ff)

# Rows 1 and 5 from above predictions
predict(ff, data.frame(x1 = c(1, 5), x2 = c(100, 200)))

# Rows 1 as above and row 2 different
predict(ff, data.frame(x1 = c(1, 5), x2 = 100))

# Three ways of making the same mean predictions
predict(ff, data.frame(x1 = c(1, 5), x2 = 150))
predict(ff, data.frame(x1 = c(1, 5), x2 = NA))
predict(ff, data.frame(x1 = c(1, 5)))

# Using linComb input specified to produce regression coefficients 
# with std. As produced by summary(lm(cbind(y1, y2) ~ x1 + x2))
predict(ff, data.frame(x1 = c(1, 2)), matrix(c(-1, 1), 1, 2))
predict(ff, data.frame(x2 = c(101, 102)), matrix(c(-1, 1), 1, 2))

# Above results by a 2*4 linComb matrix and with rownames
lC <- t(matrix(c(-1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1, 1), 4, 2))
rownames(lC) <- c("x1", "x2")
predict(ff, data.frame(x1 = c(1, 2, 1, 1), x2 = c(100, 100, 101, 102)), lC)
