Table 1. Model performance for GAM models considering different prevalence levels.

Prevalence AUC Sensitivity Specificity
10% 0.947±0.019 0.922±0.029 0.889±0.041
30% 0.944±0.017 0.926±0.037 0.872±0.041
50% 0.945±0.021 0.946±0.036 0.864±0.044
70% 0.943±0.019 0.930±0.027 0.875±0.044
90% 0.918±0.025 0.912±0.043 0.826±0.057
Median 0.944±0.003 0.953±0.011 0.843±0.001

Performance is shown in terms of classification rate (AUC, sensitivity and specificity). Sensitivity and specificity correspond to those calculated using the MST threshold; the validation set used here represents 20% of the data (the other 80% was used to calibrate the models).
