Model Predictions

Description:

     `predict' is a generic function for predictions from the results
     of various model fitting functions.  The function invokes
     particular methods which depend on the `class' of the first
     argument.

     The function `predict.lm' makes predictions based on the results
     produced by `lm'.

Usage:

     predict (object, ...)

Arguments:

  object: a model object for which prediction is desired.

     ...: additional arguments affecting the predictions produced.

Value:

     The form of the value returned by `predict' depends on the class
     of its argument.  See the documentation of the particular methods
     for details of what is produced by that method.

See Also:

     `predict.lm'.
