This study undertook the first comparison of two machine learning (ML) approaches [penalised logistic regression (LASSO), and prediction rule ensembles (PREs)] to conventional logistic regression (LR) models to enhance prediction of ED onset and differential ED diagnoses from a range of putative risk factors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S003329172100489X_sec_a2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>Data were part of a European Project and comprised 1402 participants, 642 ED patients [52% with anorexia nervosa (AN) and 40% with bulimia nervosa (BN)] and 760 controls. The Cross-Cultural Risk Factor Questionnaire, which assesses retrospectively a range of sociocultural and psychological ED risk factors occurring before the age of 12 years (46 predictors in total), was used.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S003329172100489X_sec_a3\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>All three statistical approaches had satisfactory model accuracy, with an average area under the curve (AUC) of 86% for predicting ED onset and 70% for predicting AN<jats:italic>v.<\/jats:italic>BN. Predictive performance was greatest for the two regression methods (LR and LASSO), although the PRE technique relied on fewer predictors with comparable accuracy.
