Polyclass: polychotomous regression and multiple classification

Description

Classify new cases (cpolyclass), compute class probabilities for new cases (ppolyclass), and generate random multinomials for new cases (rpolyclass) for a polyclass model.

Usage

cpolyclass(cov, fit)
ppolyclass(data, cov, fit) 
rpolyclass(n, cov, fit) 

Arguments

cov	covariates. Should be a matrix with fit\$ncov columns. For rpolyclass cov should either have one row, in which case all random numbers are based on the same covariates, or n rows in which case each random number has its own covariates.
fit	polyclass object, typically the result of polyclass.
data	there are several possibilities. If data is a vector with as many elements as cov has rows, each element of data corresponds to a row of cov; if only one value is given, the probability of being in that class is computed for all sets of covariates. If data is omitted, all class probabilities are provided.
n	number of pseudo random numbers to be generated.

Value

Most likely classes (cpolyclass), probabilities (cpolyclass), or random classes according to the estimated probabilities (rpolyclass).
