Predict from a VCMoE fit — predict.vcmoe • VCMoE

Returns fitted means, component-specific means, posterior probabilities, or gating probabilities.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'vcmoe'
predict(object, newdata = NULL, u = NULL,
  type = c("mean", "posterior", "component", "prior"), ...)

Arguments

object: A vcmoe object.
newdata: Optional data frame.
u: Optional index values for newdata.
type: Prediction type.
...: Unused.

Value

A vector or matrix depending on type.

Details

For Gaussian fits, type = "component" returns component-specific means and type = "mean" returns the posterior-weighted fitted mean. For Binomial fits, type = "component" returns component-specific success probabilities and type = "mean" returns the marginal success probability. For Negative-Binomial fits, type = "component" returns component-specific mean counts and type = "mean" returns the marginal mean count.
