yates function.
This is a method which is called by the yates
function, in order to setup the code to handle a particular
model type. Methods for glm, coxph, and default are part of
the survival package.
yates_setup(fit, ...)
fit |
a fitted model object |
... |
optional arguments for some methods |
If the predicted value should be the linear predictor, the function
should return NULL. The yates routine has particularly efficient
code for this case.
Otherwise it should return a prediction function or a list of two
elements containing the prediction function and a summary function.
The prediction function will be passed the linear predictor as a single
argument and should return a vector of predicted values.
See the vignette on population prediction for more details.
