glmPredictDS.ag {dsBase}

R Documentation

predict regression responses from a glm object

Description

identify and return key components/summaries of a serverside glm_predict object that can safely be returned to the clientside without disclosure risk

Usage

glmPredictDS.ag(
  glmname.transmit,
  newdataname.transmit,
  output.type,
  se.fit,
  dispersion,
  terms.transmit,
  na.action
)

Arguments

glmname.transmit	a character string specifying the name of the glm object on the serverside that is to be used for prediction. Fully specified by glmname argument in ds.glmPredict
newdataname.transmit	a character string specifying an (optional) dataframe on the serverside in which to look for (potentially) new covariate values on which to base the predictions. Fully specified by newdataname argument in ds.glmPredict.
output.type	a character string taking the values 'response', 'link' or 'terms'. Fully specified by corresponding argument in ds.glmPredict.
se.fit	logical if standard errors for the fitted predictions are required. Fully specified by corresponding argument in ds.glmPredict.
dispersion	numeric value specifying the dispersion of the GLM fit to be assumed in computing the standard errors. Fully specified by corresponding argument in ds.glmPredict.
terms.transmit	a character vector specifying a subset of terms to return in the prediction. Fully specified by 'terms' argument in ds.glmPredict.
na.action	character string determining what should be done with missing values in the data.frame identified by <newdataname.transmit>. Fully specified by na.action argument in ds.glmPredict.

Details

Serverside aggregate function called by ds.glmPredict. It is called immediately after the assign function glmPredict.as has created a predict_glm object on the serverside by applying the equivalent of predict.glm() in native R to a glm object on the serverside. The aggregate function, glmPredict.ag, then identifies and returns components of that predict_glm object that can safely be returned to the clientside without a risk of disclosure. For further details see DataSHIELD help for ds.glmPredict and glmPredict.as and help in native R for predict.glm

Value

components/summarising statistics of a serverside predict_glm object that can safely be transmitted to the clientside without a risk of disclosure. For further details see DataSHIELD help for ds.glmPredict and glmPredict.as and help in native R for predict.glm predict.glm in native R
