  • *Minority status (or protected class) individuals are defined as African American, Hispanic American, Native American Indian, Asian/Pacific American or female by the Civil Rights Act of 1991 (Public Law 102–166, USA). Individuals who are disabled, defined by the American with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 USC § 12101), are also categorised as minority. These categories are used in the US Census.

  • †Also known as the intercept or β₀, which represents the log-odds of the outcome when all predictor variables are equal to zero.

  • ‡This is a pseudo R² statistic used to assess the goodness of fit of a logistic regression model. Traditional R² (in linear regression) does not apply to logistic regression, so Nagelkerke R² provides an adjusted measure of how well the independent variables explain the variability in the dependent variable.

  • §AUC, which The AUC quantifies the probability that a randomly chosen positive instance is ranked higher by the model than a randomly chosen negative instance. It ranges from 0 to 1, where: AUC=0.5 suggests no discrimination (random guessing), AUC<0.5 indicates worse-than-random classification and AUC=1 represents perfect classification.

  • AUC, area under the curve.
