Validation statistics for the risk-prediction algorithmin the validation cohort

Mean (95% CI)
Females
R2 statistic,a % 71.70 (70.30 to 73.10)
D statisticb 3.25 (3.15 to 3.37)
 ROC statisticc 0.92 (0.91 to 0.93)

Males
R2 statistic,a % 72.11 (71.04 to 73.18)
 Dstatisticb 3.29 (3.20 to 3.38)
 ROC statisticc 0.92 (0.91 to 0.93)
a

R2 statistic shows explained variation in time to diagnosis of lung cancer—higher values indicate more variation is explained.

b

D statistic is a measure of discrimination—higher values indicate better discrimination.

c

ROC statistic is a measure of discrimination—higher values indicate better discrimination.
