predict,est.mixedRegression-method: Prediction for a mixed regression model

Description

Bayesian prediction of the regression model $y_{ij} = f(\phi_j, t_{ij}) + \epsilon_{ij}, \phi_j\sim N(\mu, \Omega), \epsilon_{ij}\sim N(0,\gamma^2\widetilde{s}(t_{ij}))$.

Usage

"predict"(object, t, only.interval = TRUE, level = 0.05, burnIn, thinning, fun.mat, which.series = c("new", "current"), ind.pred, M2pred = 10, cand.length = 1000, method = c("vector", "free"), sampling.alg = c("InvMethod", "RejSamp"), sample.length, grid, plot.prediction = TRUE)

Arguments

object

class object of MCMC samples: "est.mixedRegression", created with method estimate,mixedRegression-method

t

vector of time points to make predictions for

only.interval

if TRUE: only calculation of prediction intervals

level

level of the prediction intervals

burnIn

burn-in period

thinning

thinning rate

fun.mat

matrix-wise definition of drift function (makes it faster)

which.series

which series to be predicted, new one ("new") or further development of current one ("current")

ind.pred

index of series to be predicted, optional, if which.series = "current" and ind.pred missing, the last series is taken

M2pred

optional, if current series to be predicted and t missing, M2pred variables will be predicted with the observation time distances

cand.length

length of candidate samples (if method = "vector")

method

vectorial ("vector") or not ("free")

sampling.alg

sampling algorithm, inversion method ("InvMethod") or rejection sampling ("RejSamp")

sample.length

number of samples to be drawn, default is the number of posterior samples

grid

fineness degree of sampling approximation

plot.prediction

if TRUE, prediction intervals are plotted

Examples

mu <- c(10, 5); Omega <- c(0.9, 0.01)
phi <- cbind(rnorm(21, mu[1], sqrt(Omega[1])), rnorm(21, mu[2], sqrt(Omega[2])))
model <- set.to.class("mixedRegression",
         parameter = list(phi = phi, mu = mu, Omega = Omega, gamma2 = 0.1),
         fun = function(phi, t) phi[1]*t + phi[2], sT.fun = function(t) 1)
t <- seq(0, 1, by = 0.01)
data <- simulate(model, t = t)
est <- estimate(model, t, data[1:20,], 2000)
plot(est)
pred <- predict(est, fun.mat = function(phi, t) phi[,1]*t + phi[,2])
points(t, data[21,], pch = 20)

t.list <- list()
for(i in 1:20) t.list[[i]] <- t
t.list[[21]] <- t[1:50]
data.list <- list()
for(i in 1:20) data.list[[i]] <- data[i,]
data.list[[21]] <- data[21, 1:50]
est <- estimate(model, t.list, data.list, 100)
pred <- predict(est, t = t[50:101], which.series = "current", ind.pred = 21,
   fun.mat = function(phi, t) phi[,1]*t + phi[,2])
