predict.vqda {vdar}R Documentation

predict.vqda

Description

Classify multivariate observations in conjunction with qda() or lda() of class 'vqda' or 'vlda'.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'vqda'
predict(object, newdata, newerror, prior = object$prior, ...)

## S3 method for class 'vlda'
predict(object, newdata, newerror, prior = object$prior, ...)

Arguments

object

object of class 'vqda' or 'vlda'.

newdata

data frame or matrix of cases to be classified or, if object has a formula, a data frame with columns of the same names as the variables used. A vector will be interpreted as a row vector. If newdata is missing, an attempt will be made to retrieve the data used to fit the qda object.

newerror

data frame or matrix of uncertainties corresponding to the cases in 'newdata'.

prior

the prior probabilities of group membership. If unspecified, the prior of the object are used.

Value

list containing the following components: class factor containing the predicted group likelihood matrix of dimension 'number of samples' x 'number of groups', containing the likelihood for each sample to belong to one of the groups grouping original grouping of the samples, copied from the input object
