  • a R2 statistic shows explained variation in time to diagnosis of colorectal cancer – higher values indicate more variation is explained.

  • b D statistic is a measure of discrimination – higher values indicate better discrimination.

  • c ROC statistic is a measure of discrimination – higher values indicate better discrimination.
