Predicting from Smoothing Spline ANOVA Fits with Non-Gaussian Responses

Description

Evaluate smoothing spline ANOVA fits with non-Gaussian responses at arbitrary points, with results on the response scale.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'gssanova'
predict9(object, newdata, ci=FALSE, level=.95, nu=NULL, ...)

Arguments

object	Object of class inheriting from "gssanova".
newdata	Data frame or model frame in which to predict.
ci	Flag indicating if Bayesian confidence intervals are required. Ignored for family="polr".
level	Confidence level. Ignored when ci=FALSE.
nu	Sizes for "nbinomial" fits with known sizes. Ignored otherwise.
...	Ignored.

Value

For ci=FALSE, predict9.gssanova returns a vector of the evaluated fit,

For ci=TRUE, predict9.gssanova returns a list of three elements.

fit	Vector of evaluated fit on response scale.
lcl	Vector of lower confidence limit on response scale.
ucl	Vector of upper confidence limit on response scale.

For family="polr", predict9.gssanova returns a matrix of probabilities with each row adding up to 1.

Note

For mixed-effect models through gssanova or gssanova1, the Z matrix is set to 0 if not supplied. To supply the Z matrix, add an element random=I(...) in newdata, where the as-is function I(...) preserves the integrity of the Z matrix in data frame.

Unlike on the link scale, partial sums make no sense on the response scale, so all terms are forced in here.
