Table 4.

The accuracy of the best Generalized Linear Mixed-Effects Models (GLMM) for predicting ulcer nodes (600 points). Sensitivity of prediction is defined as the proportion of the true positive-outcomes that are predicted to be positive. Specificity of prediction is defined as the proportion of the true negative-outcomes that are correctly predicted to be negative (Garrett et al., 2004).

Probability threshold PWS (plaque wall stress) PWSn (plaque wall strain) FSS (flow shear stress)
