Table 1.

Successful remediation compared to failed remediation. Base category is failure. Area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve for success vs failure is 0.82, indicating good discriminatory power in the model. Area under the ROC curve for success vs. in progress is 0.44. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test for goodness of fit had a p<0.62, indicating non-statistically significant differences between deciles and therefore an adequate fit to the data.
