ipred (version 0.9-9)

predict.inclass: Predictions from an Inclass Object

Description

Predicts the class membership of new observations through indirect classification.

Usage

# S3 method for inclass
predict(object, newdata, ...)

Arguments

object

object of class inclass, see inclass.

newdata

data frame to be classified.

additional arguments corresponding to the predictive models specified in inclass.

Value

The vector of predicted classes is returned.

Details

Predictions of class memberships are calculated. i.e. values of the intermediate variables are predicted and classified following cFUN, see inclass.
