The area under the curve (AUC) for the logistic regression model that contains all the predictors is 0.861; P=0.49 for the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test.

The AUC for the logistic regression model that contains all the predictors is 0.83; P=0.36 for the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test.

The AUC for the logistic regression model that contains all the predictors is 0.82; P=0.72 for the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test.
