Calculate Total Points and Probabilities for Nomogram.
Description
A nomogram, which can be carried out in 'rms' package, provides a graphical explanation of a prediction process. However, it is not very easy to draw straight lines, read points and probabilities accurately. Even, it is hard for users to calculate total points and probabilities for all subjects. This package provides formula_rd() and formula_lp() functions to fit the formula of total points with raw data and linear predictors respectively by polynomial regression. Function points_cal() will help you calculate the total points. prob_cal() can be used to calculate the probabilities after lrm(), cph() or psm() regression. For more complex condition, interaction or restricted cubic spine, TotalPoints.rms() can be used.
