R help - Jun 2011 - Competing-risks nomogram

Hi R users,

I'd like to draw a nomogram using a competing-risks regression (crr function
in R), rather than a cox regression. However, the nomogram function provided
in the Design package is not good for this purpose. 
Do you have any suggestion.
I really appreciate your help

Many thanks

Replace the Design package with the rms package.  Use the ordinary linear
regression trick to predict the linear predictor from the competing risk
regression, then use nomogram on this new model (that merely represents the
fit of interest).
