This calibration method fits the predicted linear predictor from a Cox PH model as the only predictor in a new Cox PH model with the test data as the response. $$h(t|x) = h_0(t)exp(l\beta)$$ where \(l\) is the predicted linear predictor.

The model is well calibrated if the estimated \(\beta\) coefficient is equal to 1.

Assumes fitted model is Cox PH.
