Replication of machine learning methods to predict treatment outcome with antidepressant medications in patients with major depressive disorder from STAR*D and CAN-BIND-1.

<h4>Objectives</h4>Antidepressants are first-line treatments for major depressive disorder (MDD), but 40-60% of patients will not respond, hence, predicting response would be a major clinical advance. Machine learning algorithms hold promise to predict treatment outcomes based on clinica...
