interpreting bootstrap corrected slope [rms package]

Adam - the very low amount of optimism suggests that you have a large sample
size and that your model was completely pre-specified.  If you did any
feature/variable selection or made any model changes in a way that was not
blinded to Y then you are not using the software correctly.  But you are
right the slope decrement indicates a bit of overfitting on an absolute
calibration scale.  The harm done by this can be partially interpreted by
the Emax value of 0.05 indicated the maximum absolute calibration error is
estimated to be 0.05 on the probability scale.  If your exceedence
probabilities for the middle Y category have a wide range then 0.05 isn't so
bad.
