In the documentation: "predict is a generic function for predictions from the results of various model fitting functions. The function invokes particular methods which depend on the class of the first argument." There is no information available for the default predict function, but there is information for the predict.XXX implementations mentioned further below: See Also predict.glm, predict.lm, predict.loess, predict.nls, predict.poly, predict.princomp, predict.smooth.spline. For time-series prediction, predict.ar, predict.Arima, predict.arima0, predict.HoltWinters, predict.StructTS. For details, you should look into the examples provided with predict.lm (as the simplest starter), and the code.
