\usage{
\method{predict}{lgb.Booster}(
  object,
  data,
  num_iteration = NULL,
  rawscore = FALSE,
  predleaf = FALSE,
  predcontrib = FALSE,
  header = FALSE,
  reshape = FALSE,
  ...
)
}
\arguments{
\item{object}{Object of class \code{lgb.Booster}}

\item{data}{a \code{matrix} object, a \code{dgCMatrix} object or a character representing a filename}

\item{num_iteration}{number of iteration want to predict with, NULL or <= 0 means use best iteration}

\item{rawscore}{whether the prediction should be returned in the for of original untransformed
sum of predictions from boosting iterations' results. E.g., setting \code{rawscore=TRUE}
for logistic regression would result in predictions for log-odds instead of probabilities.}

\item{predleaf}{whether predict leaf index instead.}

\item{predcontrib}{return per-feature contributions for each record.}

\item{header}{only used for prediction for text file. True if text file has header}

\item{reshape}{whether to reshape the vector of predictions to a matrix form when there are several
prediction outputs per case.}

\item{...}{Additional named arguments passed to the \code{predict()} method of
the \code{lgb.Booster} object passed to \code{object}.}
}
\value{
For regression or binary classification, it returns a vector of length \code{nrows(data)}.
        For multiclass classification, either a \code{num_class * nrows(data)} vector or
        a \code{(nrows(data), num_class)} dimension matrix is returned, depending on
        the \code{reshape} value.

        When \code{predleaf = TRUE}, the output is a matrix object with the
        number of columns corresponding to the number of trees.
