Classification task and observed positive and negative events for each outcome. The term “positive events” refers to the outcome-of-interest, i.e., to those participants in the sample who are on an “increasing” PTSD symptom trajectory or who meet the cutoff for provisional PTSD diagnosis (PCL-5 score ≥31). “Negative events” are those participants who are on a “resilient” trajectory or who do not meet the cutoff. Depicted are the sample size for each outcome for the training set, the test set and the total sample.
