Dear all,
I would like to use predict.lm() with an existing lm object but with new
arbitrary coefficients. I modify 'fit$coef' (see example below) "by hand" but
the actual model in 'fit' used for prediction does not seem to be altered
(although fit$coef is!).
Can anyone please help me do this properly?
Thanks in advance,
Jérémie

> fit <- lm(y ~ x, data=dat)
> fit
Call:
lm(formula = y ~ x, data = dat)
Coefficients:
(Intercept) x2
12.5 11.0
> fit$coef[[2]] <- 100
> dat.new <- data.frame(x=as.factor(c(1,2,1,2)))
> predict.lm(fit, dat.new)
1 2 3 4
12.5 23.5 12.5 23.5
> fit
Call:
lm(formula = y ~ x, data = dat)
Coefficients:
(Intercept) x2
12.5 11.0
> fit$coef
(Intercept) x2
12.5 100.0
