Statistical Analysis: Predictions

Retained Estimation Results

Retained estimation results are all accessible by name in subsequent operations.

  • Predictions produced by all models
  • Retain as a variable in the data set
  • List with residuals and confidence intervals
  • Extrapolate to out of sample observations

Example

Results shown will differ by model. The following shows the analysis of fit and listing of predictions for a binomial logit model.
