Dear R-Help,
I wonder if there is a prediction function for a clogit model which can be
used in the same way as the predict function for the multinom model.
In prediction('multinommodel',testset ...) it is possible to predict the
class or the class probabilities for a testset. There is a predict function
for the coxph model but I cannot find an way to use this to predict the
classes (1,2 or 3) or the class probabilities (0.2, 0.3, 0.5) for example.
I don't think this is going to be possible. The point of conditional logistic regression is that the probabilities depend on stratum parameters that cannot be estimated accurately. The conditional likelihood removes these parameters, but the resulting model does not contain enough information to estimate probabilities. -thomas
