Appendix C. Model evaluations upon the training data.
Table C1. Model evaluations upon the training data, using the Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (AUC), and the True Skill Statistic (TSS). For each species, the mean (µ) statistic values for models that include (n = 4) and exclude (n = 4) NAVs are shown. Also shown are the results of paired t tests, which compare the change in evaluation statistics between models that include and exclude NAVs. Three asterisks (***) indicate significance at α = 0.01, two asterisks (**) indicate significance at α = 0.05, and one asterisk (*) indicates near-significance at α = 0.10.
