Dear R users, I am trying to fit a Cox model such as: Surv(time,event) ~ X1+X1:X2 or Surv(time,event) ~ X1*X2 -X2, This code is working with coxph but not with cph (nor with psm), and the error message is: Error in if (!length(fname) || !any(fname == zname)) { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE is required Any idea about the cause of the problem and how to manage it within the Design library? Thanks a lot for your help. Rosalba Dr. Rosalba Miceli Unit? di Statistica Medica e Biometria Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale Tumori Via G.
