predict.ordspline: Predicts for "ordspline" Objects

Description

Get fitted values and standard error estimates for ordinal smoothing splines.

Usage

# S3 method for ordspline
predict(object,newdata=NULL,se.fit=FALSE,...)

Arguments

object

Object of class "ordspline", which is output from ordspline.

newdata

Vector containing new data points for prediction. See Details and Example. Default of newdata=NULL uses original data in object input.

se.fit

Logical indicating whether the standard errors of the fitted values should be estimated. Default is se.fit=FALSE.

…

Ignored.

Value

If se.fit=FALSE, returns vector of fitted values.

Otherwise returns list with elements:

fit

Vector of fitted values

se.fit

Vector of standard errors of fitted values

Details

Uses the coefficient and smoothing parameter estimates from a fit ordinal smoothing spline (estimated by ordspline) to predict for new data.
