The (partial) summary output displays the accuracy based upon selecting only one variable as a predictor along with its classification rate. The significant variables are starred.

The attribute and the accuracy metrics for the first 7 variables are shown next. Notice that once accuracy reaches 67.61% it does not decrease:

The call to the function is shown in the log, and the ...
