Details

This is a stripped down version of the lrm.fit() function that computes only the regression coefficients, variance-covariance-matrix, and log likelihood (for null and fitted model) and does not compute any model fit indexes etc. This is for speed in simulations or with bootstrapping. Missing data are not allowed. The function handles binary and ordinal logistic regression (proportional odds model).
