Top 20 average variable importance across resampling methods for each model type in the prediction of eating-disorder psychopathology.

Note. Weight bias = weight bias internalization, ER = emotion regulation, Food add crit = food addiction criteria, Dep dx = depressive disorder, Emo overeat = emotional overeating, Bx.ind = binge-eating disorder behavioral indicator, Dissatisfy = weight/shape dissatisfaction, Interpers prob = interpersonal problems, overvaluation = weight/shape overvaluation, Food tht supp = food thought suppression, EDE = Eating Disorder Examination, TFEQ = Three Factor Eating Questionnaire, Diet hist = diet history, AUD dx = alcohol use disorder, Food add cat = food addiction category, CR = cognitive rumination, Anx dx = anxiety disorder, Dep score = depression score, OBE = objective binge episode.

Each x axis has a unique scale. Despite differing scales, interpretation remains consistent where higher variable importance corresponds to greater importance in predictive accuracy.
