Paper 5621-2016 Restricted Cubic Spline Regression: A Brief Introduction Ruth Croxford, Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences ABSTRACT Sometimes, the relationship between an outcome (dependent) variable and the explanatory (independent) variable(s) is not linear. Restricted cubic splines are a way ...
In figure 1, we used restricted cubic splines to flexibly model and visualize the relation of predicted fat mass and lean body mass with all cause mortality in men. The risk of all cause mortality was relatively flat until around 21 kg of predicted fat mass and then started to increase rapi...

Restricted cubic splines are just a transformation of an independent variable.Thus, they can be used not only in ordinary least squares regression, but also in logistic regression,survival analysis, and so on. The range of values of the independent variable is split up, with "knots"defining ...

常见的解决方法是将连续变量分类,但类别数目和节点位置的选择往往带有主观性,并且分类往往会损失信息。因此,一个更好的解决方法是拟合自变量与因变量之间的非线性关系,限制性立方(Restricted cubic spline,RCS)就是分析非线性关系的最常见的方法之一。 近年来在Lancet、BMJ等杂志经常见到利用限制性立方样条来拟合非线性...
Restricted cubic splines (RCS) have many advantages but they have one big disadvantage: The resultant output is not always easy to interpret. Two aspects of splines that we have not touched on is the number of knots to allow and how to place them. Various proposals have been made, but ...
17 Conclusions Restricted cubic splines can be used with any regression program that uses a linear predictor – e.g. regress, logistic, glm, stcox etc. Can greatly increase the power of these methods to model non-linear relationships. Simple technique that is easy to use and...
var1, ... , _Sxvar(k-1) are functions of xvar and the knots only and are not affected by the response variable. This means that we can use rc_spline to define the _Sxvar* variables before specifying the response variable or the type of regression model. Restricted cubic splines are...
