Re: [R] Odds Ratios in rms package

Peter- for summary.rms, high and low columns are supposed to be the quartiles. Perhaps Sebastian, the original poster, could run age through the ordinary summary function or the describe function and show us the result. Frank Peter Dalgaard-2 wrote > > On Jun 20, 2012, at 21:05 , David Winsemiu

[R] Odds Ratios in rms package

Hi, I'm using the rms package to do regression analysis using the lrm function. Retrieving odds ratios is possible using summary.rms. However, I could not find any information on how exactly the odds ratios for continuous variables are calculated. It doesn't appear to be the odds ratio at 1 unit i
