Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), accuracy and AUC of the ROC and PR curves are provided for the training and testing sets respectively. The 95% confidence intervals are shown in parenthesis. AHI, apnea hypopnea index; ROC, receiver operating characteristic; AUC, area under the curve; PR, precision recall.
