Figure 1. Random Forest Regression with COWA as Dependent Variable.

Figure 1

The Variable importance plot (A) for COWA scores illustrates that IL-10, IL-7, and IL-4 have the highest Increased Mean Squared Error in the model and therefore are the most important features for the model predicting COWA scores. The red line represents the a prior threshold (1 SD above the mean) for determining the most important model features. The partial dependence plots for COWA scores on IL-10 levels (B), on IL-7 (C), and on IL-4 (D) illustrate the marginal effect of the these cytokines on COWA scores after partialling out the influence of all other variables in the model (Y-axis in pane "A").
