The ability to predict such outcomes is extremely limited. Machine-learning (ML) approaches that model complexity may optimize the prediction of multifaceted psychiatric behaviors. However, the investigations of many psychiatric concerns have not capitalized on ML to improve prognosis. This study conducted the first comparison of an ML approach (elastic net regularized logistic regression) to traditional regression to longitudinally predict ED outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291720000227_sec_a2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Females with heterogeneous ED diagnoses completed demographic and psychiatric assessments at baseline (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>= 415) and Year 1 (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>= 320) and 2 (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>= 277) follow-ups. Elastic net and traditional logistic regression models comprising the same baseline variables were compared in ability to longitudinally predict ED diagnosis, binge eating, compensatory behavior, and underweight BMI at Years 1 and 2.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291720000227_sec_a3\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Elastic net models had higher accuracy for all outcomes at Years 1 and 2 [average Area Under the Receiving Operating Characteristics Curve (AUC) = 0.78] compared to logistic regression (average AUC = 0.67). Model performance did not deteriorate when the most important predictor was removed or an alternative ML algorithm (random forests) was applied. Baseline ED (e.g. diagnosis), psychiatric (e.g. hospitalization), and demographic (e.g. ethnicity) characteristics emerged as important predictors in exploratory predictor importance analyses.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291720000227_sec_a4\" sec-type=\"conclusions\"><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>ML algorithms can enhance the prediction of ED symptoms for 2 years and may identify important risk markers.
