The
eventual winner will receive a one - day
test in a Mazda TUDOR United States SportsCar Championship SKYACTIV prototype, a racecar that bears resemblance in both appearance and
performance to the downforce laden LMP2 cars of Le Mans.
To determine which combination of measures best predicted outcome, we
tested the discrimination, or
performance, of each model by calculating the area under the curve (AUC), which quantified each model's ability to classify a dog correctly as an
eventual program release or success (higher AUCs indicate better predictive power)(54, 55)(SI Materials and Methods).
