With lrm.fit you are fitting a completely different model. One of the things lrm does, is preparing the input for lrm.fit which in this case means that dummy variables are generated for categorical variables such as 'KILLIP'.
The error message means that model did not converge after the maximum number of iterations. One possible solution is to try to increase the maximum number of iterations, e.g.:
fit1 <- lrm(DAY30~AGE+HYP+KILLIP+HRT+ANT, data = gusto2, maxit = 100) HTH, Jan On 14-09-17 09:30, Bonnett, Laura wrote:
Dear all, I am using the publically available GustoW dataset. The exact version I am using is available here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4oZ2TQA0PAoUm85UzBFNjZ0Ulk I would like to produce a nomogram for 5 covariates - AGE, HYP, KILLIP, HRT and ANT. I have successfully fitted a logistic regression model using the "glm" function as shown below. library(rms) gusto <- spss.get("GustoW.sav") fit <- glm(DAY30~AGE+HYP+factor(KILLIP)+HRT+ANT,family=binomial(link="logit"),data=gusto,x=TRUE,y=TRUE) However, my review of the literature and other websites suggest I need to use "lrm" for the purposes of producing a nomogram. When I run the command using "lrm" (see below) I get an error message saying: Error in lrm(DAY30 ~ AGE + HYP + KILLIP + HRT + ANT, gusto2) : Unable to fit model using "lrm.fit" My code is as follows: gusto2 <- gusto[,c(1,3,5,8,9,10)] gusto2$HYP <- factor(gusto2$HYP, labels=c("No","Yes")) gusto2$KILLIP <- factor(gusto2$KILLIP, labels=c("1","2","3","4")) gusto2$HRT <- factor(gusto2$HRT, labels=c("No","Yes")) gusto2$ANT <- factor(gusto2$ANT, labels=c("No","Yes")) var.labels=c(DAY30="30-day Mortality", AGE="Age in Years", KILLIP="Killip Class", HYP="Hypertension", HRT="Tachycardia", ANT="Anterior Infarct Location") label(gusto2)=lapply(names(var.labels),function(x) label(gusto2[,x])=var.labels[x]) ddist = datadist(gusto2) options(datadist='ddist') fit1 <- lrm(DAY30~AGE+HYP+KILLIP+HRT+ANT,gusto2) Error in lrm(DAY30 ~ AGE + HYP + KILLIP + HRT + ANT, gusto2) : Unable to fit model using "lrm.fit" Online solutions to this problem involve checking whether any variables are redundant. However, the results for my data suggest that none are. redun(~AGE+HYP+KILLIP+HRT+ANT,gusto2) Redundancy Analysis redun(formula = ~AGE + HYP + KILLIP + HRT + ANT, data = gusto2) n: 2188 p: 5 nk: 3 Number of NAs: 0 Transformation of target variables forced to be linear R-squared cutoff: 0.9 Type: ordinary R^2 with which each variable can be predicted from all other variables: AGE HYP KILLIP HRT ANT 0.028 0.032 0.053 0.046 0.040 No redundant variables I've also tried just considering "lrm.fit" and that code seems to run without error too: lrm.fit(cbind(gusto2$AGE,gusto2$KILLIP,gusto2$HYP,gusto2$HRT,gusto2$ANT),gusto2$DAY30) Logistic Regression Model lrm.fit(x = cbind(gusto2$AGE, gusto2$KILLIP, gusto2$HYP, gusto2$HRT, gusto2$ANT), y = gusto2$DAY30) Model Likelihood Discrimination Rank Discrim.

In particular I would welcome a solution to ensure I can produce a nomogram.
