Characteristic from an adaptive boosting model of plausible source cases responsible for recent Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission, United States, 2018–2022. Horizontal bars show the normalized impurity-based importance (mean decrease in node impurity) associated with each predictor; larger values indicate greater importance. NH/PI, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander; SVI, Social Vulnerability Index.
