Support Vector Machine Classification of Recent Suicidal Attempters Versus Suicidal Ideators Based on Functional Brain Connectivity and Estimation of the Influence of Other Participant Risk Factors on Classifier Performancea
| Classifier | Mean Accuracy, % | P | Mean FPR | Mean TPR | Mean AUC |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Recent Suicide Attempters vs Suicidal Ideators (FC only) | 78.8 | .002 | 0.222 | 0.788 | 0.9 |
| Recent Suicide Attempters vs all depressed (Suicidal Ideators + Depressed Non-Suicidal Controls) | 53.1 | .551 | 0.423 | 0.531 | 0.565 |
| Stable Suicide Attempters vs Suicidal Ideators | 58.0 | .330 | 0.222 | 0.58 | 0.635 |
| Presence vs absence of lifetime suicidal behavior | 54.3 | .348 | 0.45 | 0.543 | 0.613 |
| Recent Suicide Attempters vs Suicidal Ideators (clinical and behavioral data) | 38.1 | .236 | 0.556 | 0.375 | 0.319 |
| Recent Suicide Attempters vs Suicidal Ideators (FC + clinical and behavioral data) | 73.6 | .023 | 0.222 | 0.750 | 0.833 |
Null hypothesis: AUC = 0.5. Boldface indicates statistical significance.
Abbreviations: AUC = area under the curve, FC = functional connectivity, FPR = false-positive rate, TPR = true positive rate.
