The function predict collects posterior predictive samples for a set of new locations given an object of class `svcTMsPGOcc`. Prediction is possible for both the latent occupancy state as well as detection. Predictions are currently only possible for sampled primary time periods.

Usage

# S3 method for svcTMsPGOcc
predict(object, X.0, coords.0, t.cols, n.omp.threads = 1, 
                          verbose = TRUE, n.report = 100, 
                          ignore.RE = FALSE, type = 'occupancy', grid.index.0, ...)

Arguments

object

an object of class svcTMsPGOcc

X.0

the design matrix of covariates at the prediction locations. This should be a three-dimensional array, with dimensions corresponding to site, primary time period, and covariate, respectively. Note that the first covariate should consist of all 1s for the intercept if an intercept is included in the model. If random effects are included in the occupancy (or detection if type = 'detection') portion of the model, the levels of the random effects at the new locations/time periods should be included as an element of the three-dimensional array. The ordering of the levels should match the ordering used to fit the data in svcTMsPGOcc. The covariates should be organized in the same order as they were specified in the corresponding formula argument of svcTMsPGOcc. Names of the third dimension (covariates) of any random effects in X.0 must match the name of the random effects used to fit the model, if specified in the corresponding formula argument of svcTMsPGOcc. See example below.

coords.0

the spatial coordinates corresponding to X.0. Note that spOccupancy assumes coordinates are specified in a projected coordinate system.

t.cols

an indexing vector used to denote which primary time periods are contained in the design matrix of covariates at the prediction locations (X.0). The values should denote the specific primary time periods used to fit the model. The values should indicate the columns in data$y used to fit the model for which prediction is desired. See example below.

n.omp.threads

a positive integer indicating the number of threads to use for SMP parallel processing. The package must be compiled for OpenMP support. For most Intel-based machines, we recommend setting n.omp.threads up to the number of hyperthreaded cores. Note, n.omp.threads > 1 might not work on some systems.

verbose

if TRUE, model specification and progress of the sampler is printed to the screen. Otherwise, nothing is printed to the screen.

ignore.RE

logical value that specifies whether or not to remove random unstructured occurrence (or detection if type = 'detection') effects from the subsequent predictions. If TRUE, random effects will be included. If FALSE, unstructured random effects will be set to 0 and predictions will only be generated from the fixed effects, the spatial random effects, and AR(1) random effects if the model was fit with ar1 = TRUE.

n.report

the interval to report sampling progress.

type

a quoted keyword indicating what type of prediction to produce. Valid keywords are 'occupancy' to predict latent occupancy probability and latent occupancy values (this is the default), or 'detection' to predict detection probability given new values of detection covariates.

grid.index.0

an indexing vector used to specify how each row in X.0 corresponds to the coordinates specified in coords.0. Only relevant if the spatial random effect was estimated at a higher spatial resolution (e.g., grid cells) than point locations.

...

currently no additional arguments

Note

When ignore.RE = FALSE, both sampled levels and non-sampled levels of unstructured random effects are supported for prediction. For sampled levels, the posterior distribution for the random intercept corresponding to that level of the random effect will be used in the prediction. For non-sampled levels, random values are drawn from a normal distribution using the posterior samples of the random effect variance, which results in fully propagated uncertainty in predictions with models that incorporate random effects.

Occurrence predictions at sites that are only sampled for a subset of the total number of primary time periods are obtained directly when fitting the model. See the psi.samples and z.samples portions of the output list from the model object of class svcTMsPGOcc.

Value

A list object of class predict.svcTMsPGOcc. When type = 'occupancy', the list consists of:

psi.0.samples

a four-dimensional object of posterior predictive samples for the latent occupancy probability values with dimensions corresponding to posterior predictive sample, species, site, and primary time period.

z.0.samples

a three-dimensional object of posterior predictive samples for the latent occupancy values with dimensions corresponding to posterior predictive sample, species, site, and primary time period.

w.0.samples

a four-dimensional array of posterior predictive samples for the latent spatial factors with dimensions correpsonding to MCMC sample, latent factor, site, and spatially-varying coefficient.

When type = 'detection', the list consists of:

p.0.samples

a four-dimensional object of posterior predictive samples for the detection probability values with dimensions corresponding to posterior predictive sample, site, and primary time period.

The return object will include additional objects used for standard extractor functions.
