Prediction

Description

Prediction and forecasting of the fitted model.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'pgam'
predict(object, forecast = FALSE, k = 1, x = NULL, ...)

Arguments

object	object of class pgam holding the fitted model
forecast	if TRUE the function tries to forecast
k	steps for forecasting
x	covariate values for forecasting if the model has covariates. Must have the k rows and p columns
...	further arguments passed to method

Details

It estimates predicted values, their variances, deviance components, generalized Pearson statistics components, local level, smoothed prediction and forecast.

Considering a Poisson process and a gamma priori, the predictive distribution of the model is negative binomial with parameters a_{t|t-1} and b_{t|t-1}. So, the conditional mean and variance are given by

E≤ft(y_{t}|Y_{t-1}\right)=a_{t|t-1}/b_{t|t-1}

and

Var≤ft(y_{t}|Y_{t-1}\right)=a_{t|t-1}≤ft(1+b_{t|t-1}\right)/b_{t|t-1}^{2}

Deviance components are estimated as follow

D≤ft(y;\hatμ\right)=2∑_{t=τ+1}^{n}{a_{t|t-1}\log ≤ft(\frac{a_{t|t-1}}{y_{t}b_{t|t-1}}\right)-≤ft(a_{t|t-1}+y_{t}\right)\log \frac{≤ft(y_{t}+a_{t|t-1}\right)}{≤ft(1+b_{t|t-1}\right)y_{t}}}

Generalized Pearson statistics has the form

X^{2}=∑_{t=τ+1}^{n}\frac{≤ft(y_{t}b_{t|t-1}-a_{t|t-1}\right)^{2}} {a_{t|t-1}≤ft(1+b_{t|t-1}\right)}

Approximate scale parameter is given by the expression

\hatφ=frac{X^{2}}{edf}

where edf is the number o degrees of reedom of the fitted model.
