predict.sparsegl: Make predictions from a 'sparsegl' object.

In hierNest: Penalized Regression with Hierarchical Nested Parameterization Structure

Make predictions from a 'sparsegl' object.

Description

Similar to other predict methods, this function produces fitted values and class labels from a fitted ['sparsegl'] object.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'sparsegl'
predict(
  object,
  newx,
  s = NULL,
  type = c("link", "response", "coefficients", "nonzero", "class"),
  ...
)

Arguments

object	Fitted [sparsegl()] model object.
newx	Matrix of new values for 'x' at which predictions are to be made. Must be a matrix. This argument is mandatory.
s	Value(s) of the penalty parameter 'lambda' at which predictions are required. Default is the entire sequence used to create the model.
type	Type of prediction required. Type '"link"' gives the linear predictors for '"binomial"'; for '"gaussian"' models it gives the fitted values. Type '"response"' gives predictions on the scale of the response (for example, fitted probabilities for '"binomial"'); for '"gaussian"' type '"response"' is equivalent to type '"link"'. Type '"coefficients"' computes the coefficients at the requested values for 's'. Type '"class"' applies only to '"binomial"' models, and produces the class label corresponding to the maximum probability. Type '"nonzero"' returns a list of the indices of the nonzero coefficients for each value of s.
...	Not used.

Details

's' is the new vector of 'lambda' values at which predictions are requested. If 's' is not in the lambda sequence used for fitting the model, the 'coef' function will use linear interpolation to make predictions. The new values are interpolated using a fraction of coefficients from both left and right 'lambda' indices.

Value

The object returned depends on type.
