AUC Difference
AUC differences (AUCDIFF), as expected, were comparatively lower for the optimal models chosen by AUCDIFF approaches over ORTESTapproaches for both fish and odonates (Figures 3c-d). While, the EXP approach chose a greater number of optimal models with comparatively larger AUCDIFF over any of the four sequential approaches for both fish and odonates (Figure 3c-d). However, there were statistically significant correlations for AUCDIFF of the optimal models selected by the EXP approach to all the sequential selection approaches (Table S4). The highest positive correlation was found with ORTEST_PER for fish and with ORTEST_BAL for odonates though correlation strength was only moderate for the latter (Table S4).
