• Considering Net Benefit During the Selection of the Best-Performing Model
  Two receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves are shown. Expected utility increases in the direction of the arrowhead. The hypotenuse of the light blue triangle marks the maximum utility achievable by taking readmission preventing actions based on the model represented by the orange curve. The blue ROC curve extends into the triangle, showing that actions based on this model have a higher utility, even though it has a lower area under the ROC.
