predict.WrappedModel: Predict new data.

Description

Predict the target variable of new data using a fitted model. What is stored exactly in the (Prediction) object depends on the predict.type setting of the Learner. If predict.type was set to “prob” probability thresholding can be done calling the setThreshold function on the prediction object.

The row names of the input task or newdata are preserved in the output.

Usage

# S3 method for WrappedModel
predict(object, task, newdata, subset = NULL, ...)

Arguments

object

(WrappedModel) Wrapped model, result of train.

task

(Task) The task. If this is passed, data from this task is predicted.

newdata

(data.frame) New observations which should be predicted. Pass this alternatively instead of task.

subset

(integer | logical | NULL) Selected cases. Either a logical or an index vector. By default NULL if all observations are used.

...

(any) Currently ignored.

Value

(Prediction).

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# train and predict
train.set = seq(1, 150, 2)
test.set = seq(2, 150, 2)
model = train("classif.lda", iris.task, subset = train.set)
p = predict(model, newdata = iris, subset = test.set)
print(p)
predict(model, task = iris.task, subset = test.set)

# predict now probabiliies instead of class labels
lrn = makeLearner("classif.lda", predict.type = "prob")
model = train(lrn, iris.task, subset = train.set)
p = predict(model, task = iris.task, subset = test.set)
print(p)
getPredictionProbabilities(p)
