Evaluation metrics of ORs and 95% CIs by study group, estimation method and model, Admissions data, n = 17,011, 2004–2009. The lines connecting the symbols have no quantitative meaning and are drawn only to aid in reading and interpreting the graphs. For ORs, the reference lines indicate the LR parametric CIs at 68% (two middle lines) and 95% levels (bottom and top lines). The y-axis is shown using a log scale. For CI length, the reference line indicates the length of the LR bootstrap CI. Length values above 3 have been truncated to allow for clearer presentation and the actual values are indicated on the graph. For CI asymmetry, the reference line indicates the asymmetry of the LR bootstrap CI. The y-axis for OR*/OR is shown using a log scale. GMO, geometric mean of odds; GB, gradient boosting; IsoReg, isotonic regression; LR, logistic regression; OMP, odds of the mean prediction; ParDepFun, partial dependence functions; RF, random forest.
