Table 2 gives the number of 500 test-train datasets for which each method performs best for chance-corrected concordance (CCC) and cause-specific mortality fraction (CSMF) accuracy, by age and health care experience (HCE). King-Lu (KL) does not estimate individual causes so chance-corrected concordance cannot be calculated. PCVA, physician-certified VA; RF, Random Forest; SSP, Simplified Symptom Pattern; VA, verbal autopsy.
