The LOOCV approach was used to assess the accuracy of the regression model to predict population preference index, and the correlation coefficient and root mean square error were estimated. This LOOCV approach consists of training a model with the complete dataset except for one point, and then that point is predicted by the model, enabling accuracy statistics to be estimated. The process is iterated 18 times, and the root mean square error is calculated. Regression analyses were conducted with IBM SPSS statistics software (version 25).
Regression analyses between compression rates and population preference indices or IPs were conducted with IBM SPSS statistics software (version 25). The statistical significance level was set to p = 0.05 for all statistical tests.
