I am trying to use anova(fitCont,fitCat) to compare two Cox models (coxph) one
in which age is entered as a continuous variable, and a second where age is
entered as a three-level factor (young, middle, old). The Analysis of Deviance
Table produced by anova does not give a p value. Is there any way to get anova
to produce p values?
Thank you,
John Sorkin
ANOVA results are pasted below:
> anova(fitCont,fitCat)
Analysis of Deviance Table

The entire program including the original coxph models follows:
> fitCont<-coxph(Surv(Time30,Died)~Rx+Age,data=GVHDdata)
> summary(fitCont)
