# predict.cube
Model prediction
```{r include=FALSE}
library(gdalcubes)
```
## Description
Apply a trained model on all pixels of a data cube.
## Usage
```r
predict.cube(object, model, ..., output_names = c("pred"), keep_bands = FALSE)
```
## Arguments
| Argument | Description |
|:------------|:----------------------------------|
| object | a data cube proxy object (class cube) |
| model | model used for prediction (e.g. from `caret` or `tidymodels`) |
| ... | further arguments passed to the model-specific predict method |
| output_names | optional character vector for output variable(s) |
| keep_bands | logical; keep bands of input data cube, defaults to FALSE, i.e. original bands will be dropped |
## Details
The model-specific predict method will be automatically chosen based on the class of the provided model. It aims at supporting
models from the packages `tidymodels`, `caret`, and simple models as from `lm` or `glm`.
For multiple output variables or output in form of lists or data.frames, `output_names` must be provided and match
names of the columns / items of the result object returned from the underlying predict method. For example,
predictions using `tidymodels` return a tibble (data.frame) with columns like `.pred_class` (classification case).
This must be explicitly provided as `output_names`. Similarly, `predict.lm` and the like return lists
if the standard error is requested by the user and `output_names` hence should be set to `c("fit","se.fit")`.
For more complex cases or when predict expects something else than a `data.frame`, this function may not work at all.
## Note
This function returns a proxy object, i.e., it will not immediately start any computations.
## Examples
```{r}
# create image collection from example Landsat data only
# if not already done in other examples
if (!file.exists(file.path(tempdir(), "L8.db"))) {
L8_files <- list.files(system.file("L8NY18", package = "gdalcubes"),
".TIF", recursive = TRUE, full.names = TRUE)
create_image_collection(L8_files, "L8_L1TP", file.path(tempdir(), "L8.db"), quiet = TRUE)
}
v = cube_view(extent=list(left=388941.2, right=766552.4,
bottom=4345299, top=4744931, t0="2018-04", t1="2018-06"),
srs="EPSG:32618", nx = 497, ny=526, dt="P3M")
L8.col = image_collection(file.path(tempdir(), "L8.db"))
if (requireNamespace("sf", quietly = TRUE)) { # for automatic testing only
x = sf::st_read(system.file("ny_samples.gpkg", package = "gdalcubes"))
raster_cube(L8.col, v) |>
select_bands(c("B02","B03","B04","B05")) |>
extract_geom(x) -> train
x$FID = rownames(x)
train = merge(train, x, by = "FID")
train$iswater = as.factor(train$class == "water")
log_model <- glm(iswater ~ B02 + B03 + B04 + B05, data = train, family = "binomial")
raster_cube(L8.col, v) |>
select_bands(c("B02","B03","B04","B05")) |>
predict(model=log_model, type="response") |>
