get_prediction {variancePartition} | R Documentation

## Compute predicted value of formula for linear mixed model

### Description

Compute predicted value of formula for linear mixed model for with lmer

### Usage

    get_prediction(fit, formula)

### Arguments

`fit` | model fit with lmer
`formula` | formula of fixed and random effects to predict

### Details

Similar motivation as `lme4:::predict.merMod()`, but that function cannot use just a subset of the fixed effects: it either uses none or all. Note that the intercept is included in the formula by default. To exclude it from the prediction use `~ 0 + ...` syntax

### Value

Predicted values from formula using parameter estimates from fit linear mixed model

### Examples

    library(lme4)

    # fit model
    fm1 <- lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (Days | Subject), sleepstudy)

    # predict Days, but exclude intercept
    get_prediction( fm1, ~ 0 + Days)

    # predict Days and (Days | Subject) random effect, but exclude intercept
    get_prediction( fm1, ~ 0 + Days +  (Days | Subject))
