predict.LSBP_VB | R Documentation |
Predict method for a LSBP model estimated using the LSBP_VB
function.
## S3 method for class 'LSBP_VB' predict(object, type = "mean", R = 5000, newdata = NULL, threshold = NULL, ...)
object |
An object of class |
type |
String indicating the type of prediction: |
R |
An integer indicating the number of replications for the returned sample. |
newdata |
A new data frame containing the same variables declared in |
threshold |
Only needed if |
... |
Further arguments passed to or from other methods. |
The method predict.LSBP_VB
produces a sample of predicted values, obtained by evaluating the conditional mean of the LSBP model or the predictive distribution, using the observations contained in the newdata
data frame.
If type="mean"
, then a sample from the (variational) posterior of the mean of a LSBP model is returned. If type="predictive"
is selected, then a sample from the (variational) predictive distribution is returned. If type="variance"
, then a sample from the (variational) posterior distribution of the LSBP variance is returned. If type="cdf"
, then a sample from the (variational) posterior distribution of the LSBP cumulative distribution function is returned, evaluated at threshold
.
