Joint confidence interval for fractional polynomial terms
Dear R users, The package 'mfp' that fits fractional polynomial terms to predictors. Example: data(GBSG) f <- mfp(Surv(rfst, cens) ~ fp(age, df = 4, select = 0.05) + fp(prm, df = 4, select = 0.05), family = cox, data = GBSG) print(f) To describe the association between the original predictor, eg. age and risk for different values of age I can plot it the polynomials and fitted co...

C-index : typical values
...tting values less than 0.5 on real datasets. Can someone tell me where I am going wrong please ? Here is an example using the German Breast Study Group data available in the mfp package. The predictors in the model were selected by stepAIC(). library(Design); library(Hmisc); library(mfp); data(GBSG) fit <- cph( Surv( rfst, cens ) ~ htreat + tumsize + tumgrad + posnodal + prm, data=GBSG, x=T, y=T ) val <- validate.cph( fit, dxy=T, B=200 ) round(val, 3) index.orig training test optimism index.corrected n Dxy -0.377 -0.383 -0.3...
