  1. The confusion matrix for Random-From-Train (with a length-three cause-list for clarity). As in Table 2, the entry in each cell counts the number of deaths truly due to the row cause that were predicted to be due to the column cause. This table demonstrates that while Random-From-Train is inaccurate at the individual level, at the population level the prediction distribution can closely match the truth
