A novel framework to predict ADHD symptoms using irritability in adolescents and young adults with and without ADHD by Saeedeh Komijani, Dipak Ghosal, Manpreet K. Singh, Julie B. Schweitzer, Julie B. Schweitzer, Prerona Mukherjee, Prerona Mukherjee

“…We utilized a hierarchical clustering technique to mitigate these collinearity issues and implemented a non-parametric machine learning (ML) model to predict the significance of symptom relations over time. Our data included adolescents (N=148, 54% ADHD) and young adults (N=124, 42% ADHD) diagnosed with ADHD and neurotypical (NT) individuals, evaluated in a longitudinal study.ResultsResults from the linear regression analysis indicate a significant association between irritability at time-point 1 (T1) and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms at time-point 2 (T2) in adolescent females (β=0.26, p-value < 0.001), and inattentiveness at T1 with irritability at T2 in young adult females (β=0.49, p-value < 0.05). …”
