Predict class labels or estimate conditional probabilities for the specified new data.
Arguments
- object
An object of class
abclass
.- newx
A numeric matrix representing the design matrix for predictions.
- type
A character value specifying the desired type of predictions. The available options are
"class"
for predicted labels and"probability"
for class conditional probability estimates.- selection
An integer vector for the solution indices or a character value specifying how to select a particular set of coefficient estimates from the entire solution path for prediction. If the specified
object
contains the cross-validation results, one may setselection
to"cv_min"
(or"cv_1se"
) for using the estimates giving the smallest cross-validation error (or the set of estimates resulted from the largest lambda within one standard error of the smallest cross-validation error) or prediction. The prediction for the entire solution path will be returned in a list ifselection = "all"
or no cross-validation results are available in the specifiedobject
