predict.ldblm: Predicted values for a ldblm object

Description

predict.ldblm returns the predicted values, obtained by evaluating the local distance-based linear model in the new data (newdata2), using newdata1 to estimate the "kernel weights".

Usage

# S3 method for ldblm
predict(object,newdata1,newdata2=newdata1,
        new.k.knn=3,type.var="Z",...)

Value

A list of class predict.ldblm containing the following components:

fit

predicted values for the k new individuals.

newS

matrix (with dimension (k,n)) of weights used to compute the predictions.

Arguments

object

an object of class ldblm. Result of ldblm.

newdata1

data.frame or matrix which contains the values of Z (if type.var="Z". The squared distances between k new individuals and the original n individuals (only if type.var="D2"). Finally, the G inner products matrix (if type.var="G"). newdata1 is used to compute kernels and local weights.

newdata2

the same logic as newdata1. newdata2 is used to compute the Distance-based Regressions with (dblm). If newdata2=NULL, newdata2 <- newdata1.

new.k.knn

setting a minimum bandwidth in order to check that a candidate bandwidth h doesn't contains DB linear models with only one observation. If new.h.knn=NULL, takes the distance that includes the 3 nearest neighbors for each new individual row.

type.var

set de type of the newdata paramater. Can be "Z" if newdata contains the values of the explanatory variables, "D2" if contains the squared distances matrix or "G" if contains the inner products matrix.

...

arguments passed to or from other methods to the low level.
