Probabilities of moving from high, mid-range, and low status in one period to high, mid-range, and low status in the subsequent period
| Status in initial period | Status in subsequent period | Measure 1 probability | Measure 2 probability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Measure 1 outliers: a medical school is classified as a measure 1 high (or low) outlier for a particular time period (e.g. 1970–9) if the percentage of its graduates for that time period who were sued exceeded the 90th percentile (or was below the 10th percentile) of the time period specific distribution. | |||
| Measure 2 outliers: a medical school was classified as a measure 2 high (or low) outlier for a particular time period if the difference between the actual percentage of graduates sued and the predicted percentage of graduates sued exceeded the 90th percentile (or was less than the 10th percentile) of the time period specific distribution. | |||
| Below 10th percentile | Below 10th percentile | 0.32 | 0.32 |
| Mid-range school | 0.68 | 0.68 | |
| Above 90th percentile | 0.00 | 0.00 | |
| Mid-range school | Below 10th percentile | 0.09 | 0.10 |
| Mid-range school | 0.81 | 0.79 | |
| Above 90th percentile | 0.10 | 0.11 | |
| Above 90th percentile | Below 10th percentile | 0.00 | 0.00 |
| Mid-range school | 0.68 | 0.68 | |
| Above 90th percentile | 0.32 | 0.32 | |
