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 0→1 predicted the onset of periods of social response, while Model 1→0 predicted the end of such periods

Accuracy Sensitivity Specificity Precision
