R: Predict function for latent variable models

predictlvm {lava} | R Documentation

## Predict function for latent variable models

### Description

Predictions of conditinoal mean and variance and calculation of jacobian with respect to parameter vector.

### Usage

    predictlvm(object, formula, p = coef(object), data = model.frame(object),
      ...)

### Arguments

`object` | Model object
`formula` | Formula specifying which variables to predict and which to condition on
`p` | Parameter vector
`data` | Data.frame
`...` | Additional arguments to lower level functions

### See Also

predict.lvm

### Examples

    m <- lvm(c(x1,x2,x3)~u1,u1~z,
             c(y1,y2,y3)~u2,u2~u1+z)
    latent(m) <- ~u1+u2
    d <- simulate(m,10,"u2,u2"=2,"u1,u1"=0.5,seed=123)
    e <- estimate(m,d)

    ## Conditional mean given covariates
    predictlvm(e,c(x1,x2)~1)$mean
    ## Conditional variance of u1,y1 given x1,x2
    predictlvm(e,c(u1,y1)~x1+x2)$var
