predict.glmreg: Model predictions based on a fitted "glmreg" object.

Description

This function returns predictions from a fitted "glmreg" object.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'glmreg':
predict(object,newx,which=1:length(object$lambda),
type=c("link","response","class","coefficients","nonzero"), na.action=na.pass, ...)
## S3 method for class 'glmreg':
coef(object,which=1:length(object$lambda),...)

Arguments

object

Fitted "glmreg" model object.

newx

Matrix of values at which predictions are to be made. Not used for type="coefficients"

which

Indices of the penalty parameter lambda at which predictions are required. By default, all indices are returned.

type

Type of prediction: "link" returns the linear predictors; "response" gives the fitted values; "class" returns the binomial outcome with the highest probability; "coefficients" returns the coe

na.action

action for missing data value

...

arguments for predict

Value

• The returned object depends on type.
