The most important PsychoAge and SubjAge features belonged to the categories of closer relationships and health
Friday, December 13th, 2024PsychoAge and SubjAge provide better than baseline estimates for chronological age and subjective age, respectively, in MIDUS 2 (N samples = 3870) and in MIDUS Refresher (N = 2521). (A) PsychoAge chronological age predictions in MIDUS 2 (MAE = 7.18 years; epsilon-accuracy = 0.73). (B) SubjAge subjective age predictions in MIDUS 2 (MAE = 8.53 years; epsilon accuracy = 0.66). (C) PsychoAge chronological age predictions in MIDUS Refresher (MAE = 7.73 years; epsilon-accuracy = 0.70). (D) SubjAge subjective age predictions in MIDUS Refresher (MAE = 8.56 years; epsilon accuracy = 0.65). Red lines mark ordinary least squares regressions. R2 stands for “coefficient of determination”, MAE stands for “Mean Absolute Error”, ?-acc stands for “epsilon-accuracy”.
The predictions displayed in the scatter plot were obtained during CV. Red lines mark ordinary least squares regressions. R2 stands for “coefficient of determination”, MAE stands for “Mean Absolute Error”, ?-acc stands for “epsilon-accuracy”.
