Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-18.1%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -21.2%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-46.4%, 10.2%]. P23 nationally.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| State Peer Margin | -0.175 | -0.0960 | Lower State Peer Margin decreases predicted margin | |
| Revenue/Bed | 1333029.913 | -0.0344 | Lower Revenue/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Log(Beds) | 5.481 | +0.0257 | Higher Log(Beds) increases predicted margin | |
| Reimbursement Quality | 0.277 | -0.0218 | Higher Reimbursement Quality decreases predicted m | |
| Bed Count | 240.000 | -0.0142 | Higher Bed Count decreases predicted margin |
