Model scores equal to or above this value are classified as suicidal.
Sensitivity = true positives divided by sum of true positives and false negatives.
Specificity = true negatives divided by sum of true negatives and false positives.
Positive predictive value = true positives divided by sum of true positives and false positives.
Negative predictive value = true negatives divided by sum of true negatives and false negatives.
