Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-17.6%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -6.5%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-45.9%, 10.7%]. P24 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| State Peer Margin | -0.177 | -0.0972 | Lower State Peer Margin decreases predicted margin | |
| Revenue/Bed | 1151089.966 | -0.0598 | Lower Revenue/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Expense/Bed | 1225585.814 | +0.0532 | Higher Expense/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| Log(Beds) | 5.468 | +0.0254 | Higher Log(Beds) increases predicted margin | |
| Bed Count | 237.000 | -0.0138 | Higher Bed Count decreases predicted margin |
