Function for prediction at new locations for single-species spatially-varying coefficient Binomial models
The function predict collects posterior predictive samples for a set of new locations given an object of class svcPGBinom.
## S3 method for class 'svcPGBinom' predict(object, X.0, coords.0, weights.0, n.omp.threads = 1, verbose = TRUE, n.report = 100, ignore.RE = FALSE, ...)
object: an object of class svcPGBinomX.0: the design matrix of covariates at the prediction locations. Note that for spatially-varying coefficients models the order of covariates in X.0 must be the same as the order of covariates specified in the model formula. This should include a column of 1s for the intercept if an intercept is included in the model. If unstructured random effects are included in the model, the levels of the random effects at the new locations should be included as a column in the design matrix. The ordering of the levels should match the ordering used to fit the data in svcPGBinom. Columns should correspond to the order of how covariates were specified in the corresponding formula argument of svcPGBinom. Column names of the random effects must match the name of the random effects, if specified in the corresponding formula argument of svcPGBinom.coords.0: the spatial coordinates corresponding to X.0. Note that spOccupancy assumes coordinates are specified in a projected coordinate system.weights.0: a numeric vector containing the binomial weights (i.e., the total number of Bernoulli trials) at each site. If weights.0 is not specified, we assume 1 trial at each site (i.e., presence/absence).n.omp.threads: a positive integer indicating the number of threads to use for SMP parallel processing. The package must be compiled for OpenMP support. For most Intel-based machines, we recommend setting n.omp.threads up to the number of hyperthreaded cores. Note, n.omp.threads > 1 might not work on some systems.verbose: if TRUE, model specification and progress of the sampler is printed to the screen. Otherwise, nothing is printed to the screen.ignore.RE: a logical value indicating whether to include unstructured random effects for prediction. If TRUE, unstructured random effects will be ignored and prediction will only use the fixed effects and the spatial random effects. If FALSE, random effects will be included in the prediction for both observed and unobserved levels of the unstructured random effects.n.report: the interval to report sampling progress....: currently no additional argumentsWhen ignore.RE = FALSE, both sampled levels and non-sampled levels of random effects are supported for prediction. For sampled levels, the posterior distribution for the random intercept corresponding to that level of the random effect will be used in the prediction. For non-sampled levels, random values are drawn from a normal distribution using the posterior samples of the random effect variance, which results in fully propagated uncertainty in predictions with models that incorporate random effects.

A list object of class predict.svcPGBinom consisting of:
psi.0.samples: a coda object of posterior predictive samples for the binomial probability values.
y.0.samples: a coda object of posterior predictive samples for the binomial data.
w.0.samples: a three-dimensional array of posterior predictive samples for the spatial random effects, with dimensions corresponding to MCMC iteration, coefficient, and site.
run.time: execution time reported using proc.time().
