Summary

For proper hold-out testing, it would make sense for the predict function to be able to be given a new, unrelated dataset.

• make option argument in predict function (another siamcat object)
• if no hold-out data are given, perform the function at it is now
• if hold-out data are given, perform data sanity checks
• apply model on hold-out data and return predictions

Question

Should the function for the hold-out prediction return only the prediction matrix or a modified siamcat object?

Affected functions/datasets/objects

• make.predictions
