Hi all,

I still have problems with the predict function by setting up the values on
which I want to predict

ie:
original df: p1 (193 obs) variates y x1 x2

rm(list=ls())
x1<-rnorm(193)
x2<-runif(193,-5,5)
y<-rnorm(193)+x1+x2
p1<-as.data.frame(cbind(y,x1,x2))
p1
             y         x1         x2
1   -0.6056448 -0.1113607 -0.5859728
2   -4.2841793 -1.0432688 -3.3116807
......
192 -1.3228239  1.0263013 -2.7801324
193  1.8736683  1.0480632  0.4746959

newdf<-data.frame(x1= seq(min( p1$x1),max( p1$x1),length=10),
                              x2=rep(median( p1$x2),10) )
pr<-predict(g<-lm(p1$y~p1$x1+p1$x2) ,newdf, se.fit = TRUE)

Anne, predict cannot replace the data set properly, because you have specified fixed values in


  g <- lm(p1$y ~ p1$x1 + p1$x2)

Instead, use:

  g <- lm(y ~ x1 + x2, data = p1)

and all the stuff will work.



Please insert some blanks in your code to make it readable, and try to give reproducable examples by, e.g., setting the seed as in:

  set.seed(123)
  rm(list=ls())
  x1 <- rnorm(193)
  x2 <- runif(193, -5, 5)
  y  <- rnorm(193) + x1 + x2
  p1 <- data.frame(y = y, x1 = x1, x2 = x2)

  newdf <- data.frame(x1 = seq(min(p1$x1), max(p1$x1), length = 10),
                      x2 = rep(median(p1$x2), 10))

  g <- lm(y ~ x1 + x2, data = p1)

  pr1 <- predict(g, se.fit = TRUE)
  pr2 <- predict(g, newdata = newdf, se.fit = TRUE)

newdf
           x1         x2
1  -2.3844149 -0.2594991
2  -1.8388635 -0.2594991
...
9   1.9799963 -0.2594991
10  2.5255477 -0.2594991

pr$fit
1   -0.6766906
2   -4.4198864
.....
192 -1.6531906
193  1.6395442

so apparently the predict() function did not take up the new data.frame


I looked up with conflicts() to see if I had masked objects in the search path potentially causing this problem but found none



Thanks and a good week end! (I for one need it)
