[R] Summary/Bootstrap for Design library's lrm function

[kkruse at uci.edu]

Can anyone tell me what I might be doing incorrectly for an ordinal
logistic regression for lrm?
 I cannot get R(2.9.1)to run either summary nor will it let me bootstrp to
validate.
### Y is a 5 value measure with a range from 1-5, the independent
variables are the same.  N=75 but when we knock out the NAs it comes down
to 51####

> lrm(formula = Y ~ permemp + rev + gconec + scorpstat, data = data,
na.action = na.delete, var.penalty = "simple")

## It will give me coefficients and residuals, but nothing else really. 
When I try to enter "summary" it gives me this error message##

> summary(bigassmall)
Error in summary.Design(bigassmall) : could not find function "Varcov"

##So I thought I'd try to find a back door in, manually bootstrapping to
verify then getting values that way and I get this error message##

> validate(bigassmall, method=boot, B=50)
Error in validate.lrm(bigassmall, method = boot, B = 50) :
  fit did not use x=T,y=T
