predict.bmixlm: Predicted Values for a 'bmixlm' Object

In SWotherspoon/bmixlm: Binary Mixtures of Linear Models

Description

Calculate the predicted values that can be computed from a fitted model.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'bmixlm'
predict(object, newdata = NULL, type = c("mean",
  "samples"), ...)

Arguments

object	An object of class bmixlm
newdata	A dataframe for which predictions are required
type	Whether to return the posterior mean or samples from the posterior.
...	Currently unused.

Details

This function returns the predicted values conditional on the original observed data and the prediction covariates only. An expanded range of predictions that include quantities conditional on the observed responses in the prediction data can be calculated with predictAll.

If type="mean" the function returns posterior mean quantities as a dataframe, otherwise it returns samples from the posterior as a list of arrays.

Value

Returns a list or dataframe with elements

y1	predicted values for the first component model
y2	predicted values for the second component model
p	posterior predictive probabilities of membership of the second component

If type="mean" return a dataframe of posterior means is returned, and if type="samples" return a list of arrays of samples from the posterior.
