Hi, Sorry for repeated question. I performed logistic regression using lrm and penalized it with pentrace function. I wanted to get confidence intervals of odds ratio of each predictor and summary(MyModel) gave them. I also tried to get bootstrapping standard errors in the logistic regression. bootcov function in rms package provided them. Then, I found that the confidence intervals provided by bootstrapping (bootcov) was narrower than CIs provided by usual variance-covariance matrix in the followings.
My data has no cluster structure. I am wondering which confidence interval is better. I guess bootstrapping one, but is it right? I would appreciate anybody's help in advance. > summary(MyModel, stenosis=c(70, 80), x1=c(1.5, 2.0), x2=c(1.5, 2.0)) Effects Response : outcome Factor Low High Diff. Effect S.E.
