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.
