Predict Method for Gaussian Location-scale Mixtures (Longitudinal Version)
# S3 method for WGLVmix
predict(object, newdata, Loss = 2, ...)
A vector of predictions
Fitted object of class "GLVmix"
data.frame with components(y,id,w) at which prediction is desired
this data structure must be compatible with that of WGLVmix
, if newdata$w
is NULL then w is replaced by a vector of ones of length(y)
Loss function used to generate prediction: Currently supported values: 2 to get mean predictions, 1 to get median predictions, 0 to get modal predictions or any tau in (0,1) to get tau-th quantile predictions.
optional arguments to predict
Roger Koenker
The predict method for WGLmix
objects will compute means, quantiles or
modes of the posterior according to the Loss
argument. Typically,
newdata
would be passed to predict
. Note that these predictions
are for the location parameter only.
