  1. AUC area under the curve, CI confidence interval. Two-sided p-values derived from DeLong’s test and pairwise comparisons of AUC values between 3 models were conducted. Exact p-values are provided below (training set: M1/M2 p = 0.20, M1/M3 p = 0.52, M2/M3 p = 0.10, test set: M1/M2 p = 0.51, M1/M3 p = 0.72, M2/M3 p = 0.31). Correction for multiple comparisons was not applied.
