Analysis of Auditory Measures in Normal Hearing Young Male Adult Cigarette Smokers Using Multiple Variable Selection Methods with Predictive Validation Assessments

Table 1

The 24 test measures selected as possible predictors from the audiological test battery (left column) and their abbreviations (right column). Note. Pure tone average was obtained by averaging hearing thresholds at 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz
