Somers' D
Somers' D is an asymmetric ordinal association coefficient, introduced by Robert H. Somers in 1962, that quantifies how well one ordinal variable predicts another by measuring the excess of concordant over discordant pairs relative to all pairs that are not tied on the designated independent variable. It is the standard companion to Kendall's tau in ordinal regression and is central to ROC curve analysis and the c-statistic in logistic regression.

Curated claims
Claims persisted in the evidence ledger, each with its own assessment.
This view does not invent a claim assessment when the ledger has none.
