Table 9. Assignment to the minority class: Odds of incorrectly assigned subjects to correctly assigned subjects.

N MD=0.5 MD=1.0 MD=1.5 MD=2.0
Equal factor variances (var(FqC1) = 1)
100 17.79 19.47 14.41 8.88
300 15.45 6.76 4.75 1.54
1000 6.68 2.96 1.21 0.63

Unequal factor variances (var(FqC1) = 5)
100 3.82 3.91 4.78 4.57
300 0.83 0.35 0.43 0.38
1000 0.19 0.17 0.15 0.12

Note. Table entries are average odds of class 2 subjects who are incorrectly assigned to class 1 and class 1 subjects who are correctly assigned to class 1 for imbalanced class proportion conditions in blocks B (upper panel) and D(lower panel). Ideally, the values would be close to zero.
