CART, classification and regression tree; LDA, linear discriminant analysis; LR, logistic regression; LLNA, murine local lymph node assay; SVM, support vector machine.

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

a

Chemicals predicted to be sensitizers using the Strickland et al., 2016, models were used in Tier Two. The LLNA and human datasets respectively included 84 (34 1A and 50 1B) and 53 (26 1A and 27 1B) chemicals predicted to be sensitizers.
