@inbook {2019, title = {Machine learning for clinical psychology and clinical neuroscience}, booktitle = {researchgate.net}, year = {2019}, abstract = {A rapid growth in computational power and an increasing availability of large, publicly-accessible, multimodal datasets present new opportunities for psychology and neuroscience researchers to ask novel questions, and to approach old questions in novel ways. Studies of the personal characteristics, situation-specific factors, and sociocultural contexts that result in the onset, development, maintenance, and remission of psychopathology, are particularly well-suited to benefit from machine learning methods. However, introductory textbooks for machine learning rarely tailor their guidance to the needs of psychology and neuroscience researchers. Similarly, the traditional statistical training of clinical scientists often does not incorporate these approaches. This chapter acts as an introduction to machine learning for researchers in the fields of clinical psychology and clinical neuroscience. We discuss these methods, illustrated through real and hypothetical applications in the fields of clinical psychology and clinical neuroscience. We touch on study design, selecting appropriate techniques, how (and how not) to interpret results, and more, to aid researchers who are interested in applying machine learning methods to clinical science data.}, url = {https://www.researchgate.net/publication/331000572_Machine_Learning_for_Clinical_Psychology_and_Clinical_Neuroscience}, author = {Marc N.
