In pbs-assess/sdmTMB: Spatial and Spatiotemporal SPDE-Based GLMMs with 'TMB'

Predict from an sdmTMB model

Description

Make predictions from an sdmTMB model; can predict on the original or new data.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'sdmTMB'
predict(
  object,
  newdata = NULL,
  type = c("link", "response"),
  se_fit = FALSE,
  re_form = NULL,
  re_form_iid = NULL,
  nsim = 0,
  sims_var = "est",
  model = c(NA, 1, 2),
  offset = NULL,
  mcmc_samples = NULL,
  return_tmb_object = FALSE,
  return_tmb_report = FALSE,
  return_tmb_data = FALSE,
  tmbstan_model = deprecated(),
  sims = deprecated(),
  area = deprecated(),
  ...
)

Arguments

object	A model fitted with sdmTMB().
newdata	A data frame to make predictions on. This should be a data frame with the same predictor columns as in the fitted data and a time column (if this is a spatiotemporal model) with the same name as in the fitted data.
type	Should the est column be in link (default) or response space?
se_fit	Should standard errors on predictions at the new locations given by newdata be calculated? Warning: the current implementation can be slow for large data sets or high-resolution projections unless re_form = NA (omitting random fields). A faster option to approximate point-wise uncertainty is to use the nsim argument.
re_form	NULL to specify including all spatial/spatiotemporal random effects in predictions. ~0 or NA for population-level predictions. Likely to be used in conjunction with se_fit = TRUE. This does not affect get_index() calculations.
re_form_iid	NULL to specify including all random intercepts in the predictions. ~0 or NA for population-level predictions. No other options (e.g., some but not all random intercepts) are implemented yet. Only affects predictions with newdata. This does affects get_index().
nsim	If ⁠> 0⁠, simulate from the joint precision matrix with nsim draws. Returns a matrix of nrow(data) by nsim representing the estimates of the linear predictor (i.e., in link space). Can be useful for deriving uncertainty on predictions (e.g., apply(x, 1, sd)) or propagating uncertainty. This is currently the fastest way to characterize uncertainty on predictions in space with sdmTMB.
sims_var	Experimental: Which TMB reported variable from the model should be extracted from the joint precision matrix simulation draws? Defaults to link-space predictions. Options include: "omega_s", "zeta_s", "epsilon_st", and "est_rf" (as described below). Other options will be passed verbatim.
model	Type of prediction if a delta/hurdle model and nsim > 0 or mcmc_samples is supplied: NA returns the combined prediction from both components on the link scale for the positive component; 1 or 2 return the first or second model component only on the link or response scale depending on the argument type. For regular prediction from delta models, both sets of predictions are returned.
offset	A numeric vector of optional offset values. If left at default NULL, the offset is implicitly left at 0.
mcmc_samples	See extract_mcmc() in the sdmTMBextra package for more details and the Bayesian vignette. If specified, the predict function will return a matrix of a similar form as if nsim > 0 but representing Bayesian posterior samples from the Stan model.
return_tmb_object	Logical. If TRUE, will include the TMB object in a list format output. Necessary for the get_index() or get_cog() functions.
return_tmb_report	Logical: return the output from the TMB report? For regular prediction, this is all the reported variables at the MLE parameter values. For nsim > 0 or when mcmc_samples is supplied, this is a list where each element is a sample and the contents of each element is the output of the report for that sample.
return_tmb_data	Logical: return formatted data for TMB? Used internally.
tmbstan_model	Deprecated. See mcmc_samples.
sims	Deprecated. Please use nsim instead.
area	Deprecated. Please use area in get_index().
...	Not implemented.

Value

If return_tmb_object = FALSE (and nsim = 0 and mcmc_samples = NULL):

A data frame:

• est: Estimate in link space (everything is in link space)

• est_non_rf: Estimate from everything that isn't a random field

• est_rf: Estimate from all random fields combined

• omega_s: Spatial (intercept) random field that is constant through time

• zeta_s: Spatial slope random field

• epsilon_st: Spatiotemporal (intercept) random fields, could be off (zero), IID, AR1, or random walk

If return_tmb_object = TRUE (and nsim = 0 and mcmc_samples = NULL):

A list:

• data: The data frame described above

• report: The TMB report on parameter values

• obj: The TMB object returned from the prediction run

• fit_obj: The original TMB model object

In this case, you likely only need the data element as an end user. The other elements are included for other functions.

If nsim > 0 or mcmc_samples is not NULL:

A matrix:

• Columns represent samples

• Rows represent predictions with one row per row of newdata
