predict.BinUplift function

Prediction from univariate quantization

Predictions from the univariate quantization method, i.e. this function transforms a continuous variable into a categorical one.

## S3 method for class 'BinUplift'
predict(object, newdata, ...)

Arguments

• object: an object of class BinUplift, as that created by the function BinUplift.
• newdata: the variable that was quantized in object.
• ...: additional arguments to be passed to cut function.

Returns

a quantized variable
