Is this in 'coxme' or in 'survival'. If in 'survival' then there are "residuals" functions and when I run the generic 'residuals' function on a coxph fit using the second to last example on the`coxph` help page (whose formula includes a cluster term) I get no errors.

But you said a 'random cluster', so is this supposed to be a coxme model? A year and a half ago Terry Therneau was observed on this list to write[1]:

"Residuals methods for coxme would be an important addition and is on my to-do list. (But as my wife would point out, so is a bathroom remodel and she isn't holding her breath.)"

(Can one nominate an 18-month old posting for a fortune? This could be the first entry in the 'bathroom humor' genre for fortunes.)

I just checked to see if there were a new `residuals.coxme` function in version 2.2-3 but don't see one.
