3C-index calculated using the inverse probability of censoring weighting method28.

4Greenwood-Nam-D’Agostino (GND) test, a test of calibration30. Lower chi-squared values suggest better calibration (across equally sized samples). Significant p-values indicate evidence of miscalibration. Corresponding p-values are all p < 0.01 except for C3PO PCE Black men (p = 0.02), C3PO PCE Black men recalibrated (p = 0.03), Convenience Sample PCE Black men recalibrated (p = 0.17).

5Values after recalibration to the baseline hazard of the sample (see text).

6Integrated calibration index, a quantitative measure of the average difference between predicted event risk and observed event incidence, weighted by the empirical distribution of event risk29. Smaller values indicate better calibration. P-values indicated pairwise comparison of ICI with the corresponding Convenience Sample.

7A measure of calibration applicable to models that are calibrated in the large31,44. A calibration slope equal to one is optimally calibrated. P-values indicated pairwise comparison of calibration slope with corresponding Convenience Sample.
