I am using the validate option in the Design package with the Cox survival 
model.
I am using the bw=T option which, like the fastbw function, performs a backward 
elimination variable selection
The output includes a series of columns (below) giving information on 
eliminated variables.
My question is that I am unsure of the difference between the 2 p-values given 
(the one after Chi-Sq and the one after df)
This may be a gap in my statistics knowledge, hopefully I've not asked too 
silly a question, many thanks in advance
