Meta-analysis results of prediction error (log10 POD ratio) and correlation statistics for 41-chemical dataset. The correlation statistics are analyzed between in vitro PODs and in vivo PODs.

Abbreviations: Reg PODA = original regulatory POD in animal dose units; Reg PODH = original regulatory POD converted to human equivalent dose units; BMA BMDA = Bayesian model averaging-based benchmark dose in animal dose units; BMA BMDH = Bayesian model averaging-based benchmark dose converted to human equivalent dose units; log10 POD ratio = log10(in vitro POD/in vivo POD); CI: 90% confidence interval on the average log10 POD ratio; PI: 90% prediction interval for a new random chemical; I2 = statistic describing the percentage of variation across chemicals that is due to inter-chemical variability rather than uncertainty in individual PODs; tau = estimated random effects standard deviation for the inter-chemical variability in log10 POD ratio; ρ = Spearman correlation coefficient of log10(in vitro POD) vs. log10(in vivo POD).
