CRAN has a significant update to rms. Windows and unix/linux versions
are available and I expect the Mac version to be available soon.
The most significant improvement is addition of latex=TRUE
arguments to model fitting print methods, made especially for use
with Sweave.
Here is a summary of changes since the previous version.
Changes in version 3.1-0 (2010-09-12)
* Fixed gIndex to not use scale for labeling unless character
* Changed default na.action in Gls to na.omit and added a note in
the help file that na.delete does not work with Gls
* Added terms component to Gls fit object (latex was not working)
* Added examples in robcov help file testing sandwich covariance
estimator
* Added reference related to the effects package under help file
for plot.Predict
* Added more examples and simulations to gIndex
* Fixed ancient bug in lrm.fit Fortran code to handle case where
initial estimates are nearly perfect (was trying to step halve);
thanks: Dan Hogan
* Changed survdiffplot to use gray(.85) for bands instead of
gray(.95)
* Fixed formatting problem in print.psm
* Added prStats and reVector functions to rmsMisc.s
* Changed formatting of all print.* functions for model fits to use
new prStats function
* Added latex=TRUE option to all model fit print methods; requires
LaTeX package needspace
* Re-wrote printing routines to make use of more general model
* Removed long and scale options from cph printing-related routines
* Prepare for version 2.36-1 of survival package by adding
censor=FALSE argument to survfit.coxph
* Added type="ccterms" to various predict methods
* Made type="ccterms" the default for partial g-indexes in gIndex,
i.e., combine all indirectly related (through interactions) terms
* Added Spiegelhalter calibration test to val.prob
* Added a check in cph to trigger an error if strata() is used in
formula
* Fixed drawing of polygon for shaded confidence bands for
survplot.survfit (thanks to Patrick Breheny <patrick.breheny at uky.edu>)
* Changed default adjust.subtitle in bplot to depend on ref.zero,
thanks to David Winsemius <dwinsemius at comcast.net>
* Used a namespace and simplified referenced to a few survival
package functions that survival actually exports
