Haralick Correlation GLCM | −1.5 (−4.8, −0.4) | −3.0 (−7.3, −0.4) | 0.72 (0.12) | 0.14 (0.20) | 1.5/0.63 | |

Note: Dmean and textures are given as the median (range), and AUC and p-values as the mean±SD across all Bootstrap samples, while B0 and B1 are the regression coefficients without Bootstrapping applied. Not considered a final candidate predictor due to being highly correlated with *Dmean of the masseter, and the medial pterygoid (|Rs|=0.78, 0.79), and ** the Haralick Correlation GLCM of the masseter (|Rs|=0.91).
