predict.hierNet: Prediction function for hierNet and hierNet.logistic.

In hierNet: A Lasso for Hierarchical Interactions

Prediction function for hierNet and hierNet.logistic.

Description

A function to perform prediction, using an x matrix and the output of the "hierNet" or "hiernet.logistic" function.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'hierNet'
predict(object, newx, newzz = NULL, ...)

Arguments

object	The results of a call to the "hierNet" or "hierNet.path" or function. The coefficients that are part of this object will be used for making predictions.
newx	The new x at which predictions should be made. Can be a vector or a matrix (one obseration per row).
newzz	Optional matrix of products of columns of newx, computed by compute.interactions.c
...	additional arguments (not currently used)

Value

yhat	Vector of predictions for each observation. For logistic model, these are the estimated probabilities.
