Dear Sirs.
I am working with the R packages Hmisc and PredictABEL to make NRI estimates
from my Cox models with and without a specific biomarker.
According to Pencina et al (Statistics in Medicine 2010, DOI: 0.1002/sim.4085
), a continuous/non-categorical NRI (NRI>0) is to be used when there are no
obvious reason to categorize risk, such as the risk of future cardiovascular
events in patients with established cardiovascular disease.
My question is therefore: Which value(s) are to be used in the calculation of
continuous NRI from the output in Hmisc or in PredictABEL? Does continuous NRI
equal total NRI in the output?
Yours sincerely
