That site, and that document in particular, had nothing to add on this particular topic. So on to question 2. I think the material is useful. If I write it up will that be welcome/tolerated/ignored addition to the R docs?

See the developer site, e.g. http://developer.r-project.org/model-fitting-functions.txt . That is where specialized info is (and this is specialized). On 06/03/2014 18:19, Therneau, Terry M., Ph.D. wrote:
An issue came up with the rms package today that makepredictcall would solve, and I was going to suggest it to the author. But looking in the help documents I couldn't find any reference to it. There is a manual page, but it does not give much aid in creating code for a new transformation function. Did I miss something? If not, I'd be willing to draft a paragraph about that which could be added to the extensions document. I figured it out, somehow, for the pspline function of the survival package. Submit such draft to ____? The naresid function would be another useful addition. Terry Therneau
