gcdnet (version 1.0.5)

predict.gcdnet: make predictions from a "gcdnet" object.

Description

Similar to other predict methods, this functions predicts fitted values and class labels from a fitted gcdnet object.

Usage

# S3 method for gcdnet
predict(object, newx, s = NULL,
type=c("class","link"), ...)

Value

The object returned depends on type.

Arguments

object

fitted gcdnet model object.

newx

matrix of new values for x at which predictions are to be made. NOTE: newx must be a matrix, predict function does not accept a vector or other formats of newx.

s

value(s) of the penalty parameter lambda at which predictions are required. Default is the entire sequence used to create the model.

type

type of prediction required.

  • Type "link" gives the linear predictors for classification problems and gives predicted response for regression problems.

  • Type "class" produces the class label corresponding to the maximum probability. Only available for classification problems.

...

Not used. Other arguments to predict.

Details

s is the new vector at which predictions are requested. If s is not in the lambda sequence used for fitting the model, the predict function will use linear interpolation to make predictions. The new values are interpolated using a fraction of predicted values from both left and right lambda indices.
