Calibration

Check agreement between predicted and observed risk to avoid overconfident model selection.

Incremental value

Measure added predictive signal beyond baseline covariates.

Risk strata

Assess model behavior across score-defined groups for interpretability and reporting.

Selection and reporting

Define one retained-model policy and document it consistently for manuscript scenarios.
