get individual prediction (Bayesian posterior)

must set individual.pred = TRUE in MCMC options (see the example of this function)

Usage

get_individual_prediction(x)

Arguments

x

an nplcm object; it contains the file path DIR_NPLCM to where the model results and specifications are stored. The function first reads a list from this folder by nplcm_read_folder()

Value

a matrix of individual predictions; rows for cases, columns for causes specified in model_options$likelihood$cause_list; See nplcm()
