Interpretation
One interpretation is[2]:
- Greater than 0.9 has high accuracy
- 0.7–0.9 indicates moderate accuracy
- 0.5–0.7, low accuracy
- 0.5 a chance result
One interpretation is[3]:
- more than 0.9 is considered outstanding
- 0.8 to 0.9 is considered excellent
- 0.7 to 0.8 is considered acceptable
- 0.5 suggests no discrimination
