Figure 3. Dutch PBC Study. Evolution of cross-validated P 1,i (τ ) (probability of being classifi ed in Group<br />

1) from random effect prediction based on mixed models with K = 1 (upper panel) and K = 2 (lower<br />

panel) for Group 0,<br />

patients who were alive without liver transplantation at time T = 10 years (left panel) and for Group 1,<br />

patients who encountered either liver related death or liver transplantation by time T = 10 years (right<br />

panel).<br />

discrimination procedure the values of P1,i(τ) would be zero for all τ for subjects<br />

from Group 0 (left panel of Figure 3) while conversely the values of P1,i(τ) would<br />

be one for all τ for subjects from Group 1 (right panel of Figure 3). It is seen that<br />

with K = 2 the values of P1,i(τ) in Group 0 remain close to zero for most subjects<br />

which is not always the case when the model with K = 1 was used. In Group 1,<br />

the values of P1,i(τ) go to one for most subjects, however, the difference between<br />

K = 1 and K = 2 is practically negligible.
