  • In both training (T, n=2577) and validation (V, n=1057) sets, the models’ R2 was between 0.993 and 0.965 and RASE between 0.078 and 0.077. The lambda penalty coefficient was included, where appropriate.

  • AEX-FV, area under expiratory flow-volume curve; AICc, Akaike Information Criterion; BIC, Bayesian Information Criterion; RASE, root average square error.
