forecasting.Ta (via forecasting) estimates the dependent values based on the Ta model.

1 2	## S3 method for class 'Ta' forecasting(model, newdata, includes_transformed_newdata = FALSE)

`model`	Object of class "Ta" generated by `Ta` or `generates_model`(..., method = "Ta").
`newdata`	Matrix with n rows (samples) and p columns (variables). The Data to be estimated. All data should be continuous values and should not have missing values.
`includes_transformed_newdata`	If `TRUE`, then the transformed data for `newdata` are included in a return object.

A list containing the following components is returned.

`M_hat`	Vector with length n. The estimated values of the dependent variable after the data transformation.
`y_hat`	Vector with length n. The estimated values after the inverse transformation from `M_hat`.
`model`	Object of class "Ta" passed by `model`.
`n`	The number of samples for `newdata`.
`q`	The number of variables after the data transformation. q equals p.
`X`	If `includes_transformed_newdata` is `TRUE`, then the transformed data for `newdata` are included.
