predict.cocktail: make predictions from a "cocktail" object.

In emeryyi/fastcox: Lasso and Elastic-Net Penalized Cox's Regression in High Dimensions Models using the Cocktail Algorithm

Description

Similar to other predict methods, this functions predicts fitted values, link function and more from a fitted cocktail object. This function is modified based on the predict function from the glmnet package.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'cocktail'
predict(object,newx,s=NULL,type=c("link","response","coefficients","nonzero"),...)

Arguments

object	fitted cocktail model object.
newx	matrix of new values for x at which predictions are to be made. Must be a matrix. This argument is not used for type=c("coefficients","nonzero")
s	value(s) of the penalty parameter lambda at which predictions are required. Default is the entire sequence used to create the model.
type	type of prediction required. Type "link" gives the linear predictors for Cox's model. Type "response" gives the fitted relative-risk for Cox's model. Type "coefficients" computes the coefficients at the requested values for s. Type "nonzero" returns a list of the indices of the nonzero coefficients for each value of s.
...	Not used. Other arguments to predict.

Details

s is the new vector at which predictions are requested. If s is not in the lambda sequence used for fitting the model, the predict function will use linear interpolation to make predictions. The new values are interpolated using a fraction of predicted values from both left and right lambda indices.

Value

The object returned depends on type.
