I think I've posted this before, but the H-L test has disadvantages: low power, sensitive to arbitrary choices of intervals, other issues related to testing the model on the training data.  The Hosmer-Le Cessie test is a one d.f. omnibus test of lack of fit for a binary logistic model that will generally have more power than H-L, and it does not require one to construct intervals of predicted probabilities.  The new test is done by the residuals.lrm function in the Design library (http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/s/Design.html).  Like all omnibus tests, it will have low power against directed alternatives (e.g., nonlinearity, nonadditivity).
