Thanks for the great book.

I believe that table 2.3 is produced using a small training dataset which contains 89 patients. Have you used 10-fold cross-validation to compute the P-values for the risk predictors?

When 5-fold cross validation is used, a different result is yielded (for HypercholesterolemiaHistory).
Could you please advise me on this (What is the optimal value of K when the dataset is small)?
