Dear professor Harrell, 

I probably have the same problem as Haleh Ghaem Maralani.

I am using the rms package and the rcspline.plot function to assess the
relation of a continuous predictor to the log hazard function. 

I would like to use the "adj" statement, for example using this test
dataset:

http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n3058505/file.csv

test <-read.csv("file.csv",header=TRUE) 
 
rcspline.plot(test$factor, test$Time,model="cox", adj=cbind(test$adj1,
test$adj2),
xrange=c(0,3),ylim=c(-1,2),event=test$event,nk=4,knots=c(0.8,1.0,1.5,2.0),showknots=TRUE,plotcl=FALSE,statloc="none",subset=test$SEX=="2",lty=2)

Then I get the following Error. 

         x                                             
-0.7860188  3.4871734 -4.6087226 -0.6761077 -0.9358280 
[1] -3686.955 -3646.681
Error in pchisq(q, df, lower.tail, log.p) : 
  Non-numeric argument to mathematical function

Could you please help us understanding how to use the adj statement?
