Under “Method”, “L1LR” denotes L1 regularized logistic regression. “Schedule” indicates the days of the week on which the provider works (M = Monday, T = Tuesday, W = Wednesday, R = Thursday, F = Friday). For the last four columns, ERC denotes the expected readmission cost in dollars (the sum of the expected readmission cost, according to HCUP data, for those patients seen and who had an ER readmission); PC denotes the provider cost in dollars (the cost of giving the provider).
