Professor Harrell,

There is 186 observations leading to 31 events. The bw=false option
was slip, as I was trying different options to see if could run the
command. As expected being the default option, without it gives me the
same error message.

No automated variable selection model was used. Only variables that
were significant on the univariate analysis and clinically important
were used (4 predictors).


Thanks for the quick reply,
Rodrigo
