Table 1.

Balancing of training and test sets compared to real world epidemiology

Data set Mean ± SD
Training sets 0.50 + 0.31
Test sets 0.47 + 0.30
Real word epidemiology 0.22 + 0.28
t test
Training sets/test sets 0.45 (.66)
Training sets/real world epidemiology 3.78 (.0004***)
Test sets/real world epidemiology 3.32 (.002**)

We statistically compared the prevalences of diseases of the training and test sets in the article selection with the respective real world epidemiology. We used a Welch Two sample t-test

*p < .05. **p < .01. ***p < .001; n = 30
