RCS =受限立方样条。 您可以通过查看help(package="rms")
找到函数的帮助文件下面是源代码的摘录,所以你可以看到那里的cph函数调用coxph.fit功能(的coxph在survival包胆量)

if (nullmod)
f = NULL
else {
ytype = attr(Y, "type")
fitter = if (method == "breslow" || method == "efron") {

survival:::agexact.fit

class(f) = c("cph", "rms", "coxph")
f
}
两个cph和coxph给出了相同的结果尽可能系数:
