Table 3.

The average, absolute error in the Tg values predicted by equation (1) for the three polymer classes found in Figure 1 at k=50%.

Polymer class Polymers Set size k mina ΔTav: Average Tg prediction error (K)
I All polycarbonates and polyarylates 100 7b 6.4
II Poly(DTE-co-DT-co-PEG carbonate)s 13 7 5.3
III Poly(I2DTE-co-I2DT-co-PEG carbonate)s 19 7 3.7
a

The minimum size of the construction set (in nr of X,Y pairs) necessary to obtain the best Tg prediction (lowest ΔTav) in that class

b

No asymptotic behavior, arbitrarily chosen value of k
