buildPredict: A closure that generates a function call for predicting new...

In henkelstone/NPEL.Classification: Classifaction and data-handling routines for NPEL Caribou Project

Description

This function returns a function that will predict data for the specified model type. This functionality is necessary because not all the packages used by NPEL.Classification conform to the standard predict.* function model; hence this function standardizes the interface so it is straightforward to predict data from any of the model types used, using the same interface.

Usage

buildPredict(model)

Arguments

model

the model for which to build a predict function

Value

a predict function for that model type.

Note

The nearest neighbour models in package:FNN and package:class do not enclose their results in a class; when NPEL.Classification builds objects of these types it wraps them in a class so they are recognizable by S3 methods, and attaches the formula and data. Hence, if a model was built directly using these packages, the result will not run this function.
