Dear all,
Is the restricted cubic spline function working properly in the glm model?
We used glm(y~rcs(x,5), family=binomial) but it seems that for some theoretical reasons the rcs, restricted cubic spline function can not be fitted by a glm function. Is this correct?
Regards, Jan
((Originally, we used lrm(y~ rcs(x,5)) but we couldn't find how to derive the AIC value of the fitted model. Is there a solution?))
The fit object from lrm has all the information you need to easily compute AIC. Type names(fit object) to see what's there.
If you really needed glm (which you don't), Design wants you to use glmD.
