  1. Bivariate correlations between ML “Predicted” scores (from Machine Learning) and Clinically Rated Blunted Vocal Affect and Alogia scores and clinical symptom and functioning variables. ML scores for each audio recording were averaged across participants (total K samples = 1745, n = 55).
  2. ML machine learning.
  3. *p < 0.05; +p < 0.10.
