  • The AUC shows good to excellent accuracy.

  • The Age column indicates whether or not the chronological age is one of the features in the corresponding classifier (Y: yes; N: no)

  • ADHD, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; AUC, area under the curve; Fn, false negatives; Fp, false positives; ROC, receiver operating characteristic; Tn, true negatives; Tp, true positives.
