CI = confidence interval; GRE-V = Graduate Record Exam verbal score; NPV = negative predictive value; OR = odds ratio; PPV = positive predictive value; SE = standard error; SHIS = School of Health Information Science, UT;

Note: B = Logistic Regression Coefficient; SE = Standard Error; Wald = Wald statistic; OR = odds ratio; df = degrees of freedom. The row headed NPV/PPV % shows, as percents, negative predictive values in columns labeled “No A” and positive predictive values in columns labeled “A”. Columns headed with sp % displayed above Se % show, as percents, specificity in the row labeled “No A”, above sensitivity in the row labeled “A”, above overall accuracy of prediction in the row labeled NPV/PPV %' Prob. A = predicted probability of “A” grade; Obs A = observed binary occurrence of “A” grade; pred A = predicted binary occurrence of “A” grade.
