Receiver operating characteristics curve for the model developed on stunting predictors. The area under the curve (AUC) in our model was found to be 0.7688 which is equals to 77%. This means a randomly selected individual from the stunting group has a true test value larger than that for a randomly chosen individual from the non-stunted group 77% of the time. Such that if a pair of observations with stunted and non-stunted children were taken the model ranks 77% of such pairs of observations correctly
