From: Clinical prediction models and the multiverse of madness
Depiction of the multiverse of clinical prediction models (CPMs) for a chosen target population. Each CPM is developed using the same model development method but from a different sample of size n from the target population of interest. After development, the CPM is used to make subsequent predictions for individuals. Bold arrows indicate the route that was actually taken, whilst grey arrows represent other hypothetical routes that would have been taken had a different dataset of size n been sampled
