This function "pools" (i.e. combines) multiple ggeffects objects, in
a similar fashion as mice::pool().
pool_predictions(x, ...)A list of ggeffects objects, as returned by predict_response().
Currently not used.
A data frame with pooled predictions.
Averaging of parameters follows Rubin's rules (Rubin, 1987, p. 76).
Pooling is applied to the predicted values on the scale of the linear predictor,
not on the response scale, in order to have accurate pooled estimates and
standard errors. The final pooled predicted values are then transformed to
the response scale, using insight::link_inverse().
