Predicts the response from a fitted NMF-RE model. With newA supplied,
returns the fixed-effect prediction \(X\,\Theta\,A_{new}\) (new
units carry no estimated random effect \(U\), so only the population mean
is predicted). Without newA, returns the in-sample BLUP fit
\(X(\Theta A + U)\) (object$XB.blup), matching fitted().
