"PredictSosDisc" - prediction of "SosDisc" objectsThe prediction of a "SosDisc" object
Objects can be created by calls of the form new("PredictSosDisc", ...)
but most often by invoking predict() on a "SosDisc" object.
They contain values meant for printing by show()
classification:Object of class "factor" representing the predicted classification
mahadist2:A "matrix" containing the squared robust Mahalanobis distances to each group center in the subspace (see Details).
w:A "vector" containing the weights derived from robust Mahalanobis distances to the closest group center (see Details).
signature(object = "PredictSosDisc"): Prints the results.

For the prediction of the class membership a two step approach is taken.
First, the newdata are scaled and centered (by obj@scale and obj@center)
and multiplied by obj@beta for dimension reduction. Then the
classification of the transformed data is obtained by prediction with
the Linda object obj@fit. The Mahalanobis distances to the closest
group center in this subspace is used to derive case weights w.
Observations where the squared robust mahalanobis distance is larger
than the 0.975 quantile of the chi-square distribution with Q degrees
of freedom receive weight zero, all others weight one.
