Thanks Michael. I have read the original article and I guess whether the following formula could resolve my question?
*for adjusted HR of each BMI category,* fit<-coxph(Surv~factor(BMI-category)+..+covariates) *for trend, * fit<-coxph(Surv~as.numeric(BMI-category)+..+covariates) *# p trend may be the p value of BMI-category coded as continuous* *for linearity* fit1<-coxph(Surv~BMI-as-continuous+..+covariates) fit2<-coxph(Surv~rcs(BMI-as-continuous,3)+..+covariates) # some non-linear coding of BMI-as-continuous lrtest(fit1, fit2) *# p linearity may be the p value of lrtest* *Yao Zhu* *Department of UrologyFudan University Shanghai Cancer CenterShanghai, China* 2014/1/5 Michael Friendly <frien...@yorku.ca> > On 1/4/2014 12:39 AM, zhu yao wrote: > >> Dear Sir >> Many papers calculated the p value of trends for odds ratios of ordered >> category variables.
