Hi everyone,
I am attempting to use the R package 'rms'
http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/wiki/Main/Rrms
to implement a PH weibull model, using the pphsm() function.

However, I get the following error,
f.ph <- pphsm(f)
Warning message:
In pphsm(f) :
  at present, pphsm does not return the correct covariance matrix

I tried simply running the example on page 117 of the manual, i.e.
set.seed(1)
S <- Surv(runif(100))
x <- runif(100)
dd <- datadist(x); options(datadist='dd')
f <- psm(S ~ x, dist="exponential")
summary(f) # effects on log(T) scale
f.ph <- pphsm(f)
## Not run: summary(f.ph)

But I still got the above error message.
I have looked through the R help archives, and it appears that this question 
has been asked before in 2011, but
there were no replies.

Does anyone know how to get this function to work? Or if there is an 
alternative package that can implement
a Weibull PH model?
Cheers,
Lucy
