a

Model scores equal to or above this value are classified as suicidal.

b

Sensitivity = true positives divided by sum of true positives and false negatives.

c

Specificity = true negatives divided by sum of true negatives and false positives.

d

Positive predictive value = true positives divided by sum of true positives and false positives.

e

Negative predictive value = true negatives divided by sum of true negatives and false negatives.
