Details
The forest plot shows the performance estimates of each validation with corresponding confidence
intervals. A polygon is added to the bottom of the forest plot, showing the summary estimate based on the model.
A 95% prediction interval is added by default for random-effects models, the dotted line indicates its (approximate) bounds
