Predicting votes from wards with unknown data

Now that we know how to train our models and find the best one possible, we will provide predictions for those wards for which we don't have voting data using the best models we found using the Vote measure. To do so, we simply execute the following line:

predictions <- predict(best_lm_fit_by_votes, data_incomplete)

predictions

This will take the best model we found earlier using the Votes measure and use it to generate predictions for the Proportion variable in the data_incomplete data, which contains those observations...
