SLR_prediction.data.frame: SLR prediction S3 method for data frames

In EmanuelSommer/SLRprediction: A quick and easy way of predicting within a simple linear regression model + visualization

Description

Predicting with a simple linear regression model

Usage

## S3 method for class 'data.frame'
SLR_prediction(y, col_response = 1,
  col_exploratory = 2, pre_x_value = mean(y[, col_exploratory]))

Arguments

y	a numeric data.frame containing the response and exploratory variable
col_response	column number of the response variable within y (default is 1)
col_exploratory	column number of the exploratory variable within y (default is 2)
pre_x_value	the numeric value (within the range of the exploratory vector) for which the prediction is made

Details

The function first builds a simple linear regression model with one response and one exploratory variable. Then the prediction for a given value of the exploratory variable (default the mean and no out of sample predictions) gets returned.

Value

the predicted value of the response variable
