summary.mfp2

This function is a method for the generic <code><a href="/link/base%3A%3Asummary()?package=mfp2&version=1.0.0" data-mini-rdoc="mfp2::base::summary()">base::summary()</a></code> function for
objects of class <code>mfp2</code>.

Multivariable fractional polynomial algorithm simultaneously selects variables and functional forms in both generalized linear models and Cox proportional hazard models. Key references for this algorithm are Royston and Altman (1994)<doi:10.2307/2986270> and Sauerbrei and Royston (2008, ISBN:978-0-470-02842-1). In addition, it can model a 'sigmoid' relationship between variable x and an outcome variable y using the approximate cumulative distribution transformation proposed by Royston (2014) <doi:10.1177/1536867X1401400206>. This feature distinguishes it from a standard fractional polynomial function, which lacks the ability to achieve such modeling.
