predict.slcafit: Model Predictions for Estimated 'slca' Object

In slca: Structural Modeling for Multiple Latent Class Variables

Model Predictions for Estimated slca Object

Description

Provides predicted class memberships or posterior probabilities for new data based on a fitted slca model.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'slcafit'
predict(object, newdata, type = c("class", "posterior"), ...)

Arguments

object	An object of class slcafit, representing a fitted slca model.
newdata	A data.frame containing the same variables as those used to estimate the object.
type	A character string indicating the type of prediction. Use "class" to obtain the predicted class membership for each observation and latent class variable, or "posterior" to retrieve posterior probabilities for each class. The default is "class".
...	Additional arguments passed to other methods.

Value

A data.frame or list depending on the type:

• For type = "class", a data.frame is returned where rows represent observations and columns correspond to latent class variables.

• For type = "posterior", a list is returned containing data.frames with posterior probabilities for each latent class variable.
