Table 4 High SBP prediction models for Black and White patients trained separately: a comparison of validation performance metrics. LR-L2 refers to the ℓ2-norm regularized LR model. FNR and FPR refer to the model’s false positive and false negative rate when the decision threshold (on the predicted probability of high SBP) is set to 0.5
