The test and train are like split data sets, contain similar

independent. And yes it is a data frame.
What is a data.frame? test and train may be dataframes, but test[,
"age"] is not a dataframe.
So I extracted age, time and event.
Code? The code you offered before would have created a newdata object
(yes, a data.frame) with a single column bearing the same name as the
vector argument ,,,,, "test1". Not named "age". Try it. do str on such
an object:
str(dataframe(test1))
So test is data frame,(age, time, event). does that suffice?
It certainly does not allow me to reproduce the error you got (which I
still think is probably related to the structure of your argument to
newdata.)
That's all I can say without data and code.

Thanks David
However, I tried your trick on val.surv with newdata=test['age']
but still didn't work.
Still gives the same error message:
Error in val.surv(f.1, newdata = test1["age"], u = 10) :
dims [product 1797] do not match the length of object [2496]
In addition: Warning message:
In est.surv + S[, 1] :
longer object length is not a multiple of shorter object length
As I said (and you did
not act upon):
The fundamental thing you are doing wrong for q1 is failing to
unambiguously describe the test object.
I said it was a guess. Now stop wasting our time and offer what is
needed.

Dear R-users,
I have two questions regarding
validation and calibration of Survival regression models.
1. I am trying to calibrate and validate a cox model using
val.surv.
here is my code:
f.1<-cph(Surv(time,event)~age, x=T, y=T, data=train)
test1<-test[,"age"]
val.surv(f.1, newdata=data.frame(test1), u=10)
but I get an error message:
Error in val.surv(f.1, newdata = data.frame(testi), u = 10) :
dims [product 1797] do not match the length of object [2496]
In addition: Warning message:
In est.surv + S[, 1] :
longer object length is not a multiple of shorter object length
I ran the example in the r-documentation but couldn't extract
dxy from result.
What am I doing wrong?
The fundamental thing you are doing wrong for q1 is failing to
unambiguously describe the test object. I would think that if test
were a dataframe then wrapping data.frame around a vector might not
get it named correctly as 'age'. You might try newdata=
test['age']. Just a guess.
2. In validate and calibrate cph functions. If it is frailty
fit, does the the bootstrap resample clusters or just individuals
The code above appears to be dependent on the rms package. The
frailty function is part of the underlying survival package and I
do not see it mentioned in the index for Harrell's RMS text. You
will probably need to wait until Frank comes across this. He is
generally very good about correction my errors and knowledge gaps.
