[R] Nomogram after Cox Random Effect (frailty) model

2013-02-14 Thread george boul

Dear R-users,
I am a novice R-user with some experience in using the RMS package for taking 
nomograms after various survival models.
This time, I am trying to plot a nomogram after a Random Effects Cox, 
implemented by the coxme package. My questions are:
1. Is it possible to take a nomogram directly after the coxme survival function?
2. If not is there a way to take the linear predictor results and plug them 
into the RMS cox model and get the nomogram I want?
Any instructions/suggestions would be highly appreciable? 
Thank you in advance
George

This can't be done directly, but if you can output predicted values from
coxme and fit an rms ols model that predicts these predicted values with an
R^2 of 1.0 you can use nomogram() on the ols fit to get what you want.
