Table 3.

Performance of the fit-polar, fit-esp, final and the current AMOEBA sets of polarizability parameters on the ESP and molecular polarizability sets. Root mean square error (RMSE, in kcal/mol/e for ESP and in Å3 for polarizability) and unsigned mean percentage error (UMPE, defined in Eq. 3) are reported.
