LLNA, murine local lymph node assay; LOOCV, leave-one-out cross-validation; SVM, support vector machine.

The values after ± indicate 95% confidence limits of proportion for correct classification rate.

a

Strategy A modeled all three categories of response simultaneously.

b

The LLNA data set contained 120 substances: 35 strong sensitizers, 52 weak sensitizers, and 33 nonsensitizers. The human data set contained 87 substances: 26 strong sensitizers, 31 weak sensitizers, and 30 nonsensitizers.

c

1A (strong) and 1B (weak) are subcategories for sensitizers in the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (UN 2015).
