  1. All models are compared to the one with the lowest BIC using ΔBIC. For each number of variables, we show the best model and competing models with a difference of BIC ≤8. The model in bold is the one selected from the ΔBIC ≤ 2. “AUROC” stands for the area under the ROC curve, “AUPR” stands for the area under the precision-recall curve.
