predict.xboost: predict for xboost

In xnie/rlearner: R-learner for Heterogeneous Treatment Effect Estimation

Description

get estimated tau(x) using the trained xboost model

Usage

## S3 method for class 'xboost'
predict(object, newx = NULL, new_p_hat = NULL, ...)

Arguments

object	a xboost object
newx	covariate matrix to make predictions on. If null, return the tau(x) predictions on the training data
new_p_hat	propensity score on newx provided by the user. Default to NULL. If the user provided their own propensity p_hat in training, new_p_hat must be provided here.
...	additional arguments (currently not used)

Value

vector of predictions

Examples

## Not run: 
n = 100; p = 10

x = matrix(rnorm(n*p), n, p)
w = rbinom(n, 1, 0.5)
y = pmax(x[,1], 0) * w + x[,2] + pmin(x[,3], 0) + rnorm(n)

xboost_fit = xboost(x, w, y)
xboost_est = predict(xboost_fit, x)

## End(Not run)
