Methods for function predict methods

## S4 method for signature 'SaemixObject'
predict(
  object,
  newdata = NULL,
  type = c("ipred", "ypred", "ppred", "icpred"),
  se.fit = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

• object: an SaemixObject
• newdata: an optional dataframe for which predictions are desired. If newdata is given, it must contain the predictors needed for the model in object
• type: the type of predictions (ipred= individual, ppred=population predictions obtained with the population estimates, ypred=mean of the population predictions, icpred=conditional predictions). With newdata, individual parameters can be estimated if the new data contains observations; otherwise, predictions correspond to the population predictions ppred, and type is ignored.
• se.fit: whether the SE are to be taken into account in the model predictions
• ...: additional arguments passed on to fitted()

Returns

a vector or a dataframe (if more than one type) with the corresponding predictions for each observation in the dataframe

Methods

• list("signature(object = "ANY")"): Default predict functions
• list("signature(object = "SaemixObject")"): Computes predictions using the results of an SAEM fit
