Tools are being developed in the community to facilitate this. A data cleaning step is recommend, e.g. remove outliers in lab values.

 **Model development** is done using a split-sample approach. The percentage used for training could depend on the number of cases, but as a rule of thumb 80/20 split is recommended. Hyper-parameter training should only be done on the training set.  **Model development** is done using a split-sample approach.

 +  . Overall performance:​ Brier score (unscaled/​scaled) 
 +  . Discrimination:​ Area under the ROC curve (AUC)

 +We recommend box plots of the predicted probabilities for the outcome vs non-outcome people, the ROC plot and a scatter plot of the observed vs predicted probabilities with the line fit to that data and the line x=y added.  ​
