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
#> 804 805 806 807 808 809 810 811 812 813
#> 0.6845 0.6238 0.5286 0.4092 0.5236 0.6727 0.6322 0.6723 0.6891 0.6004
#> 814 815 816 817 818 819 820 821 822 823
#> 0.6426 0.5854 0.6966 0.6073 0.4869 0.5974 0.5611 0.4784 0.5534 0.6151
(Truncated output)
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...
