• Abstract summary: This work demonstrates how mixed effects random forests enable accurate predictions of depression severity using multimodal physiological and digital activity data. We show that mixed effects random forests outperform standard random forests and personal average baselines when predicting clinical Depression Rating Scale scores (S_17) We suggest that this improved performance results from the ability of the mixed effects random forest to personalise model parameters to individuals in the dataset.

• Abstract: This work demonstrates how mixed effects random forests enable accurate predictions of depression severity using multimodal physiological and digital activity data collected from an 8-week study involving 31 patients with major depressive disorder. We show that mixed effects random forests outperform standard random forests and personal average baselines when predicting clinical Hamilton Depression Rating Scale scores (HDRS_17). Compared to the latter baseline, accuracy is significantly improved for each patient by an average of 0.199-0.276 in terms of mean absolute error (p<0.05). This is noteworthy as these simple baselines frequently outperform machine learning methods in mental health prediction tasks. We suggest that this improved performance results from the ability of the mixed effects random forest to personalise model parameters to individuals in the dataset. However, we find that these improvements pertain exclusively to scenarios where labelled patient data are available to the model at training time. Investigating methods that improve accuracy when generalising to new patients is left as important future work.

  Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a widespread chronic condition that impairs mobility and diminishes quality of life. Despite the proven benefits of exercise therapy and patient education in managing the OA symptoms pain and functional limitations, these strategies are often underutilized. To improve predictions, new variables beyond those in the GLA:D are required.
