predict.drc: Prediction

In MaximeBSanofi/drc2:

Description

Predicted values for models of class 'drc' or class 'mrdrc'.

Usage

  ## S3 method for class 'drc'
predict(object, newdata, se.fit = FALSE, 
  interval = c("none", "confidence", "prediction"), 
  level = 0.95, na.action = na.pass, od = FALSE, vcov. = vcov, ...)

  ## S3 method for class 'mrdrc'
predict(object, newdata, se.fit = FALSE, 
  interval = c("none", "confidence", "prediction"), 
  level = 0.95, pava = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

object	an object of class 'drc'.
newdata	An optional data frame in which to look for variables with which to predict. If omitted, the fitted values are used.
se.fit	logical. If TRUE standard errors are required.
interval	character string. Type of interval calculation: "none", "confidence" or "prediction".
level	Tolerance/confidence level.
na.action	function determining what should be done with missing values in 'newdata'. The default is to predict 'NA'.
od	logical. If TRUE adjustment for over-dispersion is used.
vcov.	function providing the variance-covariance matrix. vcov is the default, but sandwich is also an option (for obtaining robust standard errors).
pava	logical. If TRUE the fit is monotoniosed using pool adjacent violators algorithm.
...	further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Details

For the built-in log-logistics and Weibull-type models standard errors and confidence/prediction intervals can be calculated. At the moment it only works for the situations where all observations are assumed to have a common variance.

Value

A matrix with as many rows as there are dose values provided in 'newdata' or in the original dataset (in case 'newdata' is not specified) and columns with fitted, standard errors, lower and upper limits of confidence intervals.

Examples

## Fitting a model
spinach.model1 <- drm(SLOPE~DOSE, CURVE, data = spinach, fct = LL.4())

## Predicting values a dose=2 (with standard errors)
predict(spinach.model1, data.frame(dose=2, CURVE=c("1", "2", "3")), se.fit = TRUE)

## Getting confidence intervals
predict(spinach.model1, data.frame(dose=2, CURVE=c("1", "2", "3")), 
interval = "confidence")

## Getting prediction intervals
predict(spinach.model1, data.frame(dose=2, CURVE=c("1", "2", "3")), 
interval = "prediction")
