Draws parameter samples using the sandwich variance V_theta, runs VE updates, and simulates predictive counts with zero-inflation. Returns per-cell prediction intervals and coverage.

Usage

Predictions(Y, X, fit, MC)

Arguments

Y

An n x p count matrix (NAs allowed).

X

An (n*p) x d design matrix (stacked by blocks of size n).

fit

Estimator output list.

MC

Integer, number of Monte Carlo draws.

Value

A list with elements:

  • Z, U, Y.hat, pred: MC samples

  • xi: VE xi matrices for each draw

  • lower, upper: 2.5% and 97.5% predictive quantiles

  • level: average empirical coverage of [lower, upper]
