Description

Looking at glum, I don't currently see a way to generate confidence intervals for predictions on an input dataset, although I want to check here. By this, I mean something similar to the statsmodels ability to generate confidence intervals (as well as error values) for predictions on a given dataset by way of the PredictionResults class. Is there any equivalent way to do this in glum?

Research direction

No repository file or test is named. Start by checking glum's prediction APIs and compare their available outputs with statsmodels' get_prediction and PredictionResults references; done would mean a documented, tested way to obtain confidence intervals or error values for predictions on an input dataset.
