predict.copulaboost {copulaboost}

predict.copulaboost

Description

Function that computes predictions for a copulaboost model.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'copulaboost'
predict(
  object,
  new_x = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE,
  all_parts = FALSE,
  impute_na = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

object

A copulaboost model object returned from the copulaboost function.

new_x

A matrix of covariate values to compute predictions for. If new_x is not provided, the function will return predictions for the data used for fitting the model.

verbose

A logical indicator of whether a progressbar should be shown in the terminal.

all_parts

A logical indicator of whether predictions for the k first components for k = 1, ..., n_models should be returned as a matrix. If all_parts = FALSE, only the prediction with all of the model components is returned.

impute_na

A logical indicator of whether any potential NA values from any of the predictions from each component should be replaced by the median prediction for that component.

...

further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Value

If all_parts=FALSE this function will return a list of predictions for each row of new_x (if specified, otherwise predictions for the training data will be returned). If all_parts=TRUE a matrix will be returned, where the j-th column contains predictions using the j first model components.
