Table 2.
Overall performance of the social response prediction models. Model performance was evaluated based on six metrics: accuracy, sensitivity, sensitivity looking only at weeks with articles in the preceding 3 weeks, sensitivity looking only at weeks with articles in the preceding week, specificity, and precision. Model predicted the onset of periods of social response, while Model predicted the end of such periods
