Pharmacophore model performance metrics.

Metrics calculated based on the training set
Overlap Score reflecting volume and functional group overlap of actives, maximum equal to
number of actives
Accuracy Fraction of compounds correctly matched (actives) and not matched (inactives)
Metrics calculated based on the test set
Matches Compounds selected by the pharmacophore model
True positives Matches confirmed by experimental assay to be active
True negatives Non-matches confirmed by experimental assay to be inactive
False positives Matches confirmed by experimental assay to be inactive
False negatives Non-matches confirmed by experimental assay to be active
Hit rate Percent of matches that are true positives
Recovery percent Percent of total actives (true positives + false negatives) in the matches list
Miss percent Percent of total actives not in the matches list
Negative accuracy Fraction of inactives not matching the pharmacophore model
