Correction to: Scientific Reports 10.1038/s41598-023-32484-w, published online 07 April 2023

Alice Dinu was omitted from the author list in the original version of this Article.

The Author Contributions section now reads:

“S.C.M., C.B, A.D., H.P., and C.S. designed the research. C.D. and A.D. provided the data. S.C.M, C.B. and H.P. analyzed the data. S.C.M and C.B. wrote the manuscript. All authors reviewed the manuscript. Earlier versions of this research were part of the C.B.’s masters thesis which was supervised by S.C.M. and C.S.”

Additionally, in the Data availability section, the OSF repository link was incorrect.

“The pre-processed data and all analyses codes are available on OSF (https://osf.io/bhaqp/?view_only=629696d6b2854aa9834d5745425cdbbc) to facilitate reproducibility of our work. Data were analyzed using R, version 4.0.0 (R Core Team, 2020; see subsections for specific packages and versions used).”

now reads:

Finally, the legend of Figure 2 was incomplete.

“AUC performance across the four universities for different feature sets and models.”

now reads:

“AUC performance across the four universities for different feature sets and model. Inst. = Institutional data. Engag. = Engagement data. (EN) = Elastic Net. (RF) = Random Forest"

The original Article and Supplementary Information files have been corrected.
