Zusammenfassung. Das Bochumer Inventar zur berufsbezogenen Persönlichkeitsbeschreibung (BIP) erfasst berufsbezogene Persönlichkeitsmerkmale und kann in linearen Regressionen verschiedene Maße subjektiven und objektiven Berufserfolgs aufklären. Um zusätzliche Nachweise für die Kriteriumsvalidität zu erbringen, werden in der vorliegenden Arbeit Cluster- und Klassifikationsverfahren verwendet. Mithilfe von k-Means-Clusteranalysen können typische Persönlichkeitsstrukturen identifiziert werden: Personen, die sich durch Flexibilität und Gestaltungsmotivation auszeichnen, weisen einen bedeutsamen Zusammenhang zu höheren beruflichen Entgelten auf, während solche, die durch emotionale Instabilität und geringe Durchsetzungsstärke geprägt sind, häufig ein niedriges Entgelt erzielen. Klassische und neuere Klassifikationsverfahren (logistische Regressionen bzw. Random Forests) besitzen substantielle Trefferquoten in der Identifikation von Mitarbeitenden als Fach- oder Führungskraft. Die Ergebnisse sind als mittlere bis große Effekte einzustufen und liefern damit einen Nachweis über die Relevanz der Persönlichkeit für beruflichen Erfolg.

Machine Learning Approach

**Background:** Previous attempts to identify predictors of treatment outcomes in body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) have yielded inconsistent findings. One way to increase precision and clinical utility could be to use machine learning methods, which can incorporate multiple non-linear associations in prediction models. **Methods:** This study used a random forests machine learning approach to test if it is possible to reliably predict remission from BDD in a sample of 88 individuals that had received internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy for BDD. The random forest models were compared to traditional logistic regression analyses. **Results:** Random forests correctly identified 78% of participants as remitters or non-remitters at post-treatment. The accuracy of prediction was lower in subsequent follow-ups (68%, 66% and 61% correctly classified at 3-, 12- and 24-month follow-ups, respectively). Depressive symptoms, treatment credibility, working alliance, and initial severity of BDD were among the most important predictors at the beginning of treatment. By contrast, the logistic regression models did not identify consistent and strong predictors of remission from BDD. **Conclusions:** The results provide initial support for the clinical utility of machine learning approaches in the prediction of outcomes of patients with BDD. **Trial registration:** ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT02010619.

Abstract Motivation In eukaryotes, proteins targeted for secretion contain a signal peptide, which allows them to proceed through the conventional ER/Golgi-dependent pathway. However, an important number of proteins lacking a signal peptide can be secreted through unconventional routes, including that mediated by exosomes. Currently, no method is available to predict protein secretion via exosomes. Results Here, we first assembled a dataset including the sequences of 2992 proteins secreted by exosomes and 2961 proteins that are not secreted by exosomes. Subsequently, we trained different random forests models on feature vectors derived from the sequences in this dataset. In tenfold cross-validation, the best model was trained on dipeptide composition, reaching an accuracy of 69.88% ± 2.08 and an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.76 ± 0.03. In an independent dataset, this model reached an accuracy of 75.73% and an AUC of 0.840. After these results, we developed ExoPred, a web-based tool that uses random forests to predict protein secretion by exosomes. Conclusion ExoPred is available for free public use at http://imath.med.ucm.es/exopred/. Datasets are available at http://imath.med.ucm.es/exopred/datasets/.
