)an MxModel object from which predictions are desired
an optional data.frame object. See details.
character indicating what kind of intervals are desired. 'none' gives no intervals, 'confidence', gives confidence intervals, 'prediction' gives prediction intervals.
character the method used to create the predictions. See details.
the confidence or predictions level, ignored if not using intervals
character the type of thing you want predicted: latent variables or manifest variables.
further named arguments
The newdata argument is either a data.frame or MxData object. In the latter case is replaces the data in the top level model. In the former case, it is passed as the observed argument of mxData with type='raw' and must accept the same further arguments as the data in the model passed in the object argument.
The available methods for prediction are 'ML', 'WeightedML', 'Regression', and 'Kalman'. See the help page for mxFactorScores for details on the first three of these. The 'Kalman' method uses the Kalman filter to create predictions for state space models.
