dear sir/madam:
    i have a problem which about the example(lrm).
    how to get the function "L <- .4*(sex=='male') + .045*(age-50) +(log(cholesterol - 10)-5.2)*(-2*(sex=='female') + 2*(sex=='male'))".
    thank you
 
example(lrm)
 
n <- 1000 # define sample size
set.seed(17) # so can reproduce the results
age <- rnorm(n, 50, 10)
blood.pressure <- rnorm(n, 120, 15)
cholesterol <- rnorm(n, 200, 25)
sex <- factor(sample(c('female','male'), n,TRUE))
label(age) <- 'Age' # label is in Hmisc
label(cholesterol) <- 'Total Cholesterol'
label(blood.pressure) <- 'Systolic Blood Pressure'
label(sex) <- 'Sex'
units(cholesterol) <- 'mg/dl'
units(blood.pressure) <- 'mmHg'
ch <- cut2(cholesterol, g=40, levels.mean=TRUE) # use mean values in intervals
table(ch)
f <- lrm(ch ~ age)
m <- Mean(f) # see help file for Mean.lrm
d <- data.frame(age=seq(0,90,by=10))
m(predict(f, d))
f <- ols(cholesterol ~ age)
predict(f, d)

# Simulate binary y to have Prob(y=1) = 1/[1+exp(-L)]
