MixedLM.predict(params, exog=None)[source]¶

Return predicted values from a design matrix.

Parameters:¶

params : array_like¶

Parameters of a mixed linear model. Can be either a MixedLMParams instance, or a vector containing the packed model parameters in which the fixed effects parameters are at the beginning of the vector, or a vector containing only the fixed effects parameters.

exog : array_like, optional¶

Design / exogenous data for the fixed effects. Model exog is used if None.

Returns:¶

• An array of fitted values. Note that these predicted values

• only reflect the fixed effects mean structure of the model.
