Model accuracy

The figure shows how the performance of an NTCP model deteriorates as

confounding factors are increased in the patient population to which the

model is fitted

The area under the curve (AUC) is a measure of accuracy, giving the

probability that the model will correctly rank sampled ‘complicator’ & ‘non-

complicator’ pairs from the data set

– 0.5-0.7: poor

– 0.7-0.9: moderate

– 0.9-1: excellent
