Predicts from a fitted classif object.

Classifier of functional data by kernel method using functional data object of class classif. Returns the predicted classes using a previously trained model.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'classif'
predict(object, new.fdataobj = NULL, type = "class", ...)

Arguments

object: Object object estimated by: k nearest neighbors method classif.knn, kernel method classif.kernel.
new.fdataobj: New functional explanatory data of fdata class.
type: Type of prediction ("class or probability of each group membership").
...: Further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Value

If type="class", produces a vector of predictions. If type="probs", a list with the following components is returned:

group.pred the vector of predictions.
prob.group the matrix of predicted probability by factor level.
