Prediction rules for best performing models

Complex model (Table 2, Model 4) Individual model (Table 1, Model 5)
AUC = 0.91 AUC = 0.80
Quantity (χ) Estimate (β^) SE Estimate (β^) SE
Intercept 19.90 11.74 2.59 2.05
Mean Hopelessness −3.19 2.24
Variance Hopelessness −2.87 7.89
Mean Self-Efficacy −2.06 1.11 −0.60 0.30
Variance Self-Efficacy −0.18 0.72
Mean Duration of Suicidal Ideation 2.15 1.16
Variance Duration of Suicidal Ideation −1.54 2.12
Prediction Rules IF
eXβ^1+eXβ^0.462 THEN
  Flag person as at-risk of suicidal crisis.
IF
eXβ^1+eXβ^0.197THEN
  Flag person as at-risk of suicidal crisis.
Equivalently,
IF
Mean self efficacy ≤ 6.66
THEN
  Flag person as at-risk of suicidal crisis.

Note. AUC = Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve. χ is a design matrix having number of rows equal to the number of study participants. For Table 2, Model 4 the columns of χ have values corresponding to 1’s, mean hopelessness, variance hopelessness, mean self-efficacy, variance of self-efficacy, mean duration of suicidal ideation, and variance of duration of suicidal ideation. For Table 1, Model 5 the columns of χ have values corresponding to 1’s, and mean self-efficacy.
