You're right, it is the same. using I() won't work for the same reason sqrt
don't, so :

x2<- x^2
lrm(y~x+x2)

Thx for the correction.
Cheers

But you wrote linear+ square. Don't you mean:
lrm(Y~x+x^2)

--- I believe this is the same as lrm(Y ~ x).
You must protect the x^2 via

lrm(Y ~ x + I(x^2))

But don't use that construct.  Use lrm(Y ~ pol(x, 2))
