Harrell's Design Library

Design is a collection of about 180 functions that assist and streamline modeling, especially for biostatistical and epidemiologic applications. It also contains new functions for binary and ordinal logistic regression models and the Buckley-James multiple regression model for right-censored responses, and implements penalized maximum likelihood estimation for logistic and ordinary linear models. Design works with almost any regression model, but it was especially written to work with logistic regression, Cox regression, accelerated failure time models, ordinary linear models, and the Buckley-James model. In order to use the Design library, the Hmisc library must also be loaded. The Design library also contains modifications of existing S-Plus functions. If your output is formatted differently than you expect, this may be the reason. For more background on Design, see http://fharrell.biostat.virginia.edu/s/index.html. Usage:
