predict.InterUplift function

Predictions from an interaction estimator

Predictions from the interaction uplift model estimator with associated model performance.

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

Arguments

• object: an object of class InterUplift, as that created by the function InterUplift.
• newdata: a data frame containing the treatment, the outcome and the predictors of observations at which predictions are required.
• treat: name of a binary (numeric) vector representing the treatment assignment (coded as 0/1).
• ...: additional arguments to be passed to predict.glm function for the interaction model.

Returns

a vector of predicted uplift
