Note: The c‐statistic and R‐squared are summaries of overall predictive performance of each model. The maximum possible R‐squared is 1 with r‐squared above 0.25 considered a large overall effect. C‐statistics range from 0.5 to 1 and values above, or close to 0.8, indicate good predictive performance.
