foretell {simputation}

Alternative to 'predict' returning values of correct type.

Description

Te default precict function doesn't always return the predicted variable by default. For example, when estimating a binomial model using glm, by default the log-odds are returned. foretell wraps predict while setting options so that the actual predicted value is returned.

Usage

foretell(object, ...)

## Default S3 method:

## S3 method for class 'glm'
