Measures of Accuracy for Four Final Statistical Models Predicting MLD, Using Item Scores as Predictors, and MLD in Grades 2 and 3 as the Outcome Variable, n = 207
Model 4 | Model 5 | Model 6 | Model 7 | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Items in model | 8 | 6 | 4 | 17 |
Sensitivity | 79.0% | 81.8% | 82.6% | 71.4% |
Specificity | 88.0% | 90.3% | 83.9% | 84.5% |
PPV | 40.5% | 50.0% | 38.8% | 26.3% |
NPV | 97.6% | 97.7% | 97.5% | 97.5% |
Correctly classified | 87.1% | 89.4% | 83.7% | 83.6% |
ROC | 0.89 | 0.87 | 0.88 | 0.88 |
Note. PPV = postive predictive value; NPV = negative predictive value; ROC = receiver operating curve.
Item scores included the four commonly occurring TEMA-2 items that appeared in the most accurate of our first set of analyses, and which appear in Table 7. Models 4 and 5 included two additional items from either the TEMA-2 or the KeyMath-R, respectively; whereas Model 6 included only the four core TEMA-2 items. Model 7 included 13 more items from the TEMA-2 and KeyMath-R.
