calibration plots, which were internally validated using bootstrapping
with 1000 iterations.
Last, we assessed the performance of novel RMs not only for
discrimination, but also for its clinical usefulness by using decision and
net reduction curves based on 100-times repeated 10-fold cross
validation
[18]. To quantify potential reduction of unnecessary
biopsies, as well as potential overdiagnosis, we calculated true and
false positive rates (TPR and FPR, respectively), and positive and
negative predictive values (PPV and NPV, respectively) at exemplary
probability thresholds.
