predict.nlmm {nlmm}

Predictions from an nlmm Object

Description

The predictions at level 0 correspond to predictions based only on the fixed effects estimates. The predictions at level 1 are obtained by adding the best linear predictions of the random effects to the predictions at level 0.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'nlmm'
predict(object, level = 0, ...)

Arguments

object

an nlmm object.

level

an integer vector giving the level of grouping to be used in obtaining the predictions.

...

not used.

Value

a vector of predictions.
