#' @param object Object of class \code{lgb.Booster}
#' @param data a \code{matrix} object, a \code{dgCMatrix} object or a character representing a filename
#' @param num_iteration number of iteration want to predict with, NULL or <= 0 means use best iteration
#' @param 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.
#' @param predleaf whether predict leaf index instead.
#' @param header only used for prediction for text file. True if text file has header
#' @param reshape whether to reshape the vector of predictions to a matrix form when there are several

#' @return
#' 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
