Results are shown for the nine outcomes that achieved a concentration of risk in the top-ventile of risk at least three times the expected value (i.e., 15.0%≤; see Table 3). Empty cells (--) indicate predictor categories that had no significant univariate associations or predictor categories that were not represented in a final model. Coefficients (odds ratios) for the final model predictors are available on request..

2

These columns report the percent of predictors within each predictor category with significant univariate associations with outcome (0.05 level, two-sided tests).

3

This ratio refers to the observed representation of the column predictor category divided by the expected representation of the column predictor category. For example, there was 1 socio-demographic variable selected among the 10 total final model variables for major physical perpetration - 10% representation. However 114 of all predictors were socio-demographic variables. – 14.8%. This ratio (10.0/14.8) is equal to 0.7.

4

This column reports the total proportion of all predictors with significant univariate associations with each outcome.

5

This column reports the total number of final model predictors selected by elastic net.
