A new version of rms is now available on CRAN for Linux and Windows (Mac will probably be available very soon). Largest changes include latex methods for validate.* and adding the capability to force a subset of variables to be included in all backwards stepdown models (single model or validation by resampling). Recent updates: * In survplot.rms, fixed bug (curves were undefined if conf='bands' and labelc was FALSE) * In survfit.cph, fixed bug by which n wasn't always defined * In cph, put survival::: on exact fit call * Quit ignoring zlim argument in bplot; added xlabrot argument * Added caption argument for latex.anova.rms * Changed predab to not print summaries of variables selected if bw=TRUE * Changed predab to pass force argument to fastbw * fastbw: implemented force argument * Added force argument to validate.lrm, validate.bj, calibrate.default, calibrate.cph, calibrate.psm, validate.bj, validate.cph, validate.ols * print.validate: added B argument to limit how many resamples are printed summarizing variables selected if BW=TRUE * print.calibrate, print.calibrate.default: added B argument * Added latex method for results produced by validate functions * Fixed survest.cph to convert summary.survfit std.err to log S(t) scale * Fixed val.surv by pulling surv object from survest result * Clarified in predict.lrm help file that doesn't always use the first intercept * lrm.fit, lrm: linear predictor stored in fit object now uses first intercept and not middle one (NOT DOWNWARD COMPATIBLE but makes predict work when using stored linear.predictors) * Fixed argument consistency with validate methods More information is at http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/Rrms -- Frank E Harrell Jr Professor and Chairman School of Medicine Department of Biostatistics Vanderbilt University _______________________________________________ R-packages mailing list R-packages at r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-packages
